I posted a while ago and asked for tips to combat high pressure readings. The solution (bleeding radiator) does work but I seem to be trapped now in a pattern of too high/low.


I'm guessing a service is in order but has anyone any tips for keeping a boiler pressure happy?


It's put on in the morning and turned off/low for the day until the evening when it's turned up.

My Vaillant Boiler developed a Fault where the pressure reached 2.6 Bar

normally would be 1.5 - 1.6 when on Max temp.

The Boiler had its Yearly Service By Vaillant but the fault returned.

The Fault was F75 which I Googled and it was suggested it was either the Pump or Pressure sensor.


Vaillant engineer cam back and changed the Sensor and now seems OK. 5 minute job.

The Sensors can get clogged and then cannot control the pressure.

If the pressure keeps dropping, it means you have a leak somehwere in your system.

If it's below your ground floor then there may not be any sign of a leak.

You can use Fernox F4 Express Leak Sealer which you insert in a radiator bleed nodule and it usually sorts the problem.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
