Takes ages reducing pic res. but here they are.

By the way, I'm sure you know though, that's a water softener system underneath. Perhaps I need to turn the valves off, on that to bypass it, but I've forgotten now how to do that and it's too late to ring my son and ask him.

Although I will if I have to as I need a shower in the morning as I have an interview to attend.

picture 2 ...the braided hose, open both black handled valves until the pressure guage shows 1.5 bar, your looking to keep the needle in the dark grey area

Flexi is the filling loop from cold main to CH(should be)
Should have check valves fitted on water softener

dont forget to blead the rads!

 

[davejohn]

Done that, it worked, went a bit high to 1.7 - is that okay?

Many thanks, I've been so depressed all evening worrying about the extra costs. Thank you, thank you. TINA XX

Oh no, not the rads again! Will have to wait till the morning now. Yep, I know how to do them so long as they haven't got to be done in any set order! Ta.

1.7 bar is fine. make sure they are closed of tho.

Isn't the filling loop mean't to be removed after use?
