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.

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
