Thanks m8 - You saved us from a very cold house ! - I've just managed to add the pressure back in our Potterton Gold HE boiler and the central heating is now working A'OK once again :-) Merry Christmas & God Bless you. 👍👍👍
Cheers a lot for this video, my mum had no idea what she was doing when her boilers pressure went and nearly paid a plumber to come fix it for her before I found this. She'd had no heating for two days up to now bless her
As a sparky I stay away from boilers but needed to pressurise the same boiler as bought and only moved in yesterday. So obviously needed a shower after bumping and dumping boxes all day for the past 3days. Thanks a million saved me calling out a plumber.
Pat Rodgers you are a legend! got home, freezing, followed your advice and it worked perfectly, a nice warm flat and happy Mrs, if i could buy you a pint i would.
This guy serviced my boiler several times he even cut me a length of copper to use as a guitar slide. He worked for a company that my housing association used. I’d often see him around going in or out his van and he’d give a warm hello and a funny quip. I hadn’t seen him for a while and I asked another engineer doing the service and he informed me that Pat had died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage a few months earlier. What a shame nice guy. He was only in his early 50’s. He left an adult son.
Would've been nice to see which way those valves are meant to move. Mine are stuck in place and they're weird because they look like they should tilt and not turn. It's nothing like any previous boiler I've ever used with quarter turn taps (this new boiler is a baxi and I just fitted a radiator back on)
Cheers buddy, after bleeding my rads pressure dropped and consequently boiler cut out. Wasn't familiar with this boiler as we have just moved in. All good now.
Thanks very much, I wasn't sure which pair of taps. I have two blue taps at the front and two black taps towards the back. I now know it's the two front blue taps.
Thanks, man, the Engineer did explain to me a few year back now, though, one forgot which tap it was,... Watching this I realised it was two taps,..loll Doh!
Same here... The blue tap on the left seemed jammed 😟, but after watching another video I saw that you have to turn it clockwise to open it. I was turning it counterclockwise... 🙄 I have a Potterton Promax Ultra
I ve had a small puddle in morning under boiler on the counter top.. is this just condensation as it's so cold this week? It's happened in past but hardly any water
Hi pat hoping to ask a question , I have over a month to wait on a new boiler being installed in the meantime have a very young baby so need to access hot water and heat the home, had some issues and repairs with my potterton last couple of years. ATM the pressure gauge sits too high And the only way I can have it operating and remaining at a safe level of 2.5 is too run the hot water otherwise it rises above 3 towards 4 which I know isnt good dont want to blow the valve . I Am wondering what the cause could be as renovating could it have anything to do with the cold water feed which I think is located in the attic or a underfloor/ground leak atall ? Since it's an old bought property I dont have access to free plumber and my Britrish Gas policy only covered one repair, the temp valve had blown before and caused a leak internally of which I was unaware for a good while its corroded internally the shelf I ask incase theres maybe major work needing done due to CVOID none of the government teams like warmworks work during this time so my concern is safely, If I keep the hot water flowing at quite a strong flow I can keep the pressure down just enough to operate the heating , but I only have it on for short but clearly I am cautious and sceptical about even attempting to operate it but have to heat the house and get some hot water can you advise pofterron for over ten years do you think this sounds like a more external issue than the boiler itself , ? Thank I hope you can and dont mind replying to advise so I can be prepared to expect to pay alot more towards the plumbing , Thanks Julie West lothian

🙌🏻 your my fucking hero
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks, man, the Engineer did explain to me a few year back now, though, one forgot which tap it was,... Watching this I realised it was two taps,..loll Doh!
Thanks! This was very useful.
Your a bloody star thank you xxxx
Thanks Pat :)
on mine the tap on the left cant be moved, pressure is around 1 but i cant seem to fill it up
The valves can stick. Use a smal adjustable spanner to give more leverage.
Thank you
thanks its really help me a lot
When the heating is on after topping up the pressure to 1.5 is it normal if the gage then goes into the red a bit when the heating is on?
I have 2 blue taps at the front- I can open the rear one behind the filling loop, but the tap at the front wont budge?? Its jammed
Same here... The blue tap on the left seemed jammed 😟, but after watching another video I saw that you have to turn it clockwise to open it. I was turning it counterclockwise... 🙄
I have a Potterton Promax Ultra
Thanks Pat! That just saved my bacon.
Cheers boss. Worked for me.
Thank you!! Absolute legend 👍🏼
Also if the rads are on and i open hot water in the sink the rads turn off until i turn hot water off.
I ve had a small puddle in morning under boiler on the counter top.. is this just condensation as it's so cold this week? It's happened in past but hardly any water
Do I switch off the boiler to do this or does it make no difference. Plus mine is a potterto perfoma
Thanks

My issue, boiler is on first floor when shower is on, on the second floor the shower in the basement goes cold this did not happen before untill my pipes froze wen i was on holiday and someone altered the settings underneath the boiler i think.

Rads work fine
Hot water pressure is fine.
Can you help me out?

My pressure is too high (3.5) how do I lower it? Thanks in advance.
Either, the taps haven't been turned back off, or there may be a problem with your expansion vessel.
