DONT BOTHER WATCHING THIS - YOU WILL HAVE WATER EVERYWHERE. GO AND WATCH THE PROPER WORCESTER BOSCH INSTRUCTIONS AS YOU HAVE TO INSERT THE WHITE KEY CORRECTLY AND LOCK THE SYSTEM FIRST. THIS GUY HAS WATER FLUSHING EVERYWNHERE AND THIS SHOULDNT HAPPEN.

I don't think this person knows what he is doing.

Useful tip : Perform a trial run , as many times as needed to be able to remember the procedure before posting a video that comes across awkward & time consuming .
Good Luck 👍🏾

[@darrentreb9682]

If water comes out the key isn't in properly. It's a pain in the behind but goes in almost all the way in and not a drip from the boiler, that's why it has a rubber seal on it.

[@jamesshyla]

Yeah I did it yesterday and had no water come out luckily

How not to adjust the pressure on your boiler...!!! Use the key properly. Line up the arrow on the key with the open padlock

@@how-to-videos My plumber has now been and he did exactly what you recommended and it was fixed in a couple of minutes! (he didn't even charge me as it was as simple as you showed) I'll know what to do next time thanks ps he did it without switching of the electric and it was fine

[@michaeldunne9431]

"It's best to get a bucket" no its best to put the key in properly 😂

[@MikeQuinn777]

he is a blithering idiot, I will not be watching any of his how-to videos unless he ups his game to a much better standard of demonstrating that gets it right, first time.

[@J2daP2010]

Lol! Push the key in fully! It will lock into place. No water should escape other than maybe a drip or so when u remove key, u pissed water everywhere for no reason!

[@lookson624]

Thank you 🙏

How not to do it. When you put the key in all you should get is the odd drip not a torrent. The arrow on the key needs to be lined with the arrow symbol on the boiler.

[@donoyster5309]

A torrent lol 😂

[@bitzclipsmatt214]

lol. Work it out, Let us know how you get on.

[@pipins3616]

Candid camera

[@mishou8794]

very recently ours installed. it was off, by pressing Reset button was back on, but the temp is unstable: going up upto38, 42,43- 84c° is that ok?

[@martynellis3675]

Right at the end just as he said the temperature should start to rise - it fell lol!!!

[@I.said.what.you.said23]

Help! I don't have the bottom flap thing ...or key...I've no hot water 2 days... I do have an external filling hose with just one black tap that turns only eight but pressure isn't rising.

[@arfanmedni7294]

Spent more time with the key, than the pressure issue

[@BethRankine]

Oh man, this made me laugh! Maybe it's because I'm freezing and a tad concerned about our boiler not working - but I actually have tears rolling down my face. There was more about getting the key back in than there was about reducing the water pressure! And as for the bit when they were talking about getting it in the hole with little knobs next to it... well :D

[@TheAggroculture]

Priceless😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@liberty6156]

I thought this video was really funny 😄 Was it meant to be serious? I was all hot and bothered, trying to figure out what to do about my boiler and this lightened my mood and made me laugh... But put something on it to tell people it’s not serious 😄😄

Im at that point right now 🙈🙈🙈 ready to crack up then laughing at this However I have No Key 🤣🤣

[@PARVEEN78620]

Hi i have same boiler like your in video with green star Worcester Boiler i have a probleam i bled my radiators today now my boiler pressure has Dropped i even truned the key the Needle is on red it wont move could you tell me what i need to do thanks

[@how-to-videos]

omghey xxx Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm not a plumber, but it sounds like you may have a leak somewhere. If these steps don't work, I recommend you contact a plumber.

[@ianlombardo7728]

Don't listen to this cowboy. Get a plumber. Or turn key the right way lol

[@LNDN1905]

I have the same boiler but the bottom cover is not there and I also don’t have the little plastic key. There’s a red dongle and it made the pressure go to zero when I lifted it up. I checked there’s no place for a key as well to re-pressurise the boiler. 🤦‍♂️

[@smac812]

Should join the circus........great entertainment....😮😂

[@haileselassie6861]

You are supposed to push inside properly before turning to clockwise.
Push the key properly

[@MrBriefcasewanker]

Can this be done without a key? For some reason mine is not there

[@william-uk]

Always use the proper key - it's purpose is to seal the pipe properly as the water flows through. You can order replacements easily.

[@hano552]

Hi on mine i have the blue light flashing on. Do you know how to fix it?

[@JerryBrannigan]

I think he'll tell you to turn the electricity off. That'll stop it.

[@200Alant]

Armature instruction video don't cover it if is Worcester idea of instruction then forget.

[@maffbuckley600]

He's trying to help people ? No need to be negative

[@JenTays]

Id like to try this but can't find the electric switch, do you think it would be safe to adjust pressure without turning off electrics first? What would happen different if anything? No nasty or stupid comments please.

[@JenTays]

My plumber has been and did this as above very quickly. He didn't turn off the electric as he couldn't see a box and said it was not necessary. If I did need to turn off the electric he said I'd need to take the fuse out of the box just below the boiler, but not necessary

[@diggerpete9334]

I have done it without turning the boiler off. Why? Because it doesn't need to be.

[@affectionatepunch]

"The pressure is below one" 0:30 shows pressure is just under 1.5 from then on it's a total disaster *facepalm* this must be a wind-up

[@how-to-videos]

Thanks for your comment and for watching 😊

[@imanishay]

I am getting error code D4 i2 341 temperature fault any ideas

[@ytgibbo]

Put the key in properly. Then you don’t get water pissing out everywhere. Do you do electrics too?

[@how-to-videos]

Haha, thanks for watching.

[@Beefeatingman]

Try putting the key in far enough before turning the water on.

[@lindenlonsdale8753]

On my boiler there was no key. There was a small blue leaver which I pulled and this slowly repressurised the boiler.

[@how-to-videos]

Thanks for your comment and for watching 👍

[@JenTays]

Thank you for this. I didn't attempt it as I couldn't find a switch to turn off electricity. My plumber has now been and he did exactly what you recommended and it was fixed in a couple of minutes! I'll know what to do next time thanks again
ps he did it without switching of the electric and it was fine
I can't understand why all the horrid comments. Maybe they are made by wannabe plumbers that didn't pass the grade.. or wannabe video tutor but can't. Sheep anyway that just follow the lead before, probably all queuing up for the vaccine as we speak, lol..

[@how-to-videos]

Thanks very much for your kind words and interest. 👍

[@davebarber3827]

What a knob.

[@michellefarmer4686]

How do I turn the radiators off only but keep the water hot.

[@daniellealexander9844]

each radiator should have it's own knobs to turn them off

[@lifeukray9285]

I don’t have a key is there another way can be done

[@how-to-videos]

I don't think so. Thanks for your comment and for watching 😊

[@maffbuckley600]

Pull the red lever

[@desertflower6751]

Lol 😂 amazing guy

[@how-to-videos]

Thanks for your comment. 👍

[@MrRegwilliams]

The pressure is exactly the same

[@trombone50bl]

Alternatively if you're greenstar i has no key but has a blue lever instead underneath just pull it to fill the boiler

[@beasbadges8827]

so, ignore the well meaning moron and pull blue lever, thanks that worked.

[@superstarmand]

No key either, and no blue lever??!!

Well i tried it and all i got was a wet arm and 1/2 a bowl of water.
Putting the key back was the hardest part.

[@MikeQuinn777]

you are using the key incorrectly to enable the filling of system to correct pressure

[@traywyatt9200]

We havent got a key thing

[@Rickus23]

Wow.. I would think that if you was going to do an instructional video you'd learn how to actually refill the boiler first. Maybe how to get the cover off, or how to put the key in all the way... I don't think I'd trust you to run a bath. Also maybe do a retake if you're house is having a domestic half way through the video

Then you're fucked, mate.

[@rebeccadenton8629]

So this is the way NOT to add pressure to your boiler 😂 notice the pressure didn’t change but also key wasn’t pushed in high enough to start with - hence all the water 😂

[@how-to-videos]

Thanks for watching and for your comment 😂

[@FlyboyHelosim]

What a terribly convoluted method. I'm glad the later ones have a keyless way of doing it. On my old Vaillant boiler all you had to do was turn a tap in line with the pipework... no need to turn the boiler off first and no need to reach right underneath the boiler.

Don't listen to this Moran . My airing cupboard looks like Stetchford Cascades. 'Get a bucket ' Bodge the builder says. To clarify: There should be NO water, other than maybe a few drips. Not Niagara falls what came out of mine. The key needs to click into place!!!

[@diggerpete9334]

This guy knows the procedure but doesn't know how to do this.
It is not a key it is a water stop. It needs to be pushed up and tightly secured to prevent water leakage. The rubber seals are for that very job. When turning the tap to pressurise the system to 1.5 bar, normally there should be no water spill. He said the water pressure gauge shows it is now up to the correct pressure - the same pressure it was anyway to start. He had done nothing.
