As above, I'm having trouble establishing what needs doing to top up the pressure on our Greenstar 25si boiler. It has recently lapsed into the lower red section.. All the online guides refer to using a white key but the underside of our boiler doesn't have the holes or key to do this.

Instead we have 2-3 black valves on pipes underneath the boiler. I shall upload pictures of these shortly to demonstrate. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do?

Picture 3.
Open 1 of the black valves fully.
Open the other slowly, you will hear water flow,
Watch the pressure gauge start to rise, close this valve at approximately 1.5 bar.
Then fully close the other valve.
 
No need for the key. Turn both black knobs on the silver loop. Softly softly or it'll shoot up too quick!
 
Thank you all very much - so simple a solution in the end, but equally I didn't want to rush in there twisting valves and do something wrong. Thanks all again!

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
