I just wanted to thank you for this amazing video! I am a single mum with two 10 years old kids, our boiler stopped working for couple of days, I tried to ask someone to come and have a look but I couldn’t afford! Last night, we had to cuddle up each other to keep warm! 🥺, I came home today thinking let’s look at UA-cam how to fix a boiler! I followed your video and it started to work! Thx again! I know maybe loads of people know how to fix these things but so many like me don’t! Again thank you!
Just to let you know this video is still helping people out four years later 👍
That`s great Matt.
Thank you so much for this incredible video, it saved me from calling out a plumber because there was no heating or hot water. For a minute I became the plumber 😃😃😃. I am very grateful indeed.
You're welcome!
I could listen to your voices all day. Something very calming about them.
Ha ha, thanks Jonathan.
yeah--pity it's like a roller coaster--UP, then WAY DOWN. I gave up.
Omg thank you very much. I used to stay for a week without heating waiting for the landlord to send someone.Watched alot of videos but this one was easily explained, thank you.
You are very welcome
thank goodness for UA-cam, but more so, thank you ever so much for your video! you've just saved my sanity and the boiler from getting slapped with a brick! You're a gent and a scholar! xxx
Thank you glad to have helped.
thank you dereton33 and you young lady wife. i had just bled my radiators, i went to refill and a bit of water started dripping from a tap so i stopped. this is a great video sir, having us talked and showed how its done thank you both. 👍👍👍👍
Great job!
This worked. There are instructions on the inside of the casing but due to brain damage they are hard to understand and follow. This video did it perfectly. Found the two taps beneath the boiler, turned them on, though cannot find the gauge, only a heating gave. No matter, it worked. Many, many thanks.;
No problem 😊
Thankyou! My hot water went off and I thought the world had ended. After my mini heart attack I came across your video. 30 seconds later I was up and running again. Thankyou!!!
No problem Emma.
Thank you both. I had new meters fitted today, and all seemed ok, but when I returned home, no pressure. Your video has me up and running.
No problem Maggie.
Well done Jan, my I-mini 24 lost pressure, now pressure up again 👍
That`s great. We ladies can do it.
Easiest video on here to follow with clear instructions.I thought I was going to have to make a call out to a plumber.Saved my sanity and my money. Thank you!
Pleased to have helped you out Gabby.
thank you guys.
just came from work ,no hot water
I was disappointed called the housing but says will back to me tomorrow morning as no enginer available.
watched your video and done.
saved me a lot .
Thanks again
No problem.
Jane you are a life saver, we took all the air out the radiators and lost pressure to the boiler, we then watched loads of video and found no useful tips on how to sort it. We then come across your video and connected the pipes and put loads more water in the system and guess what we have heating 😅,
No problem.
Thanks Jan, I've just fixed my boiler as it showed initially F1 code and had no idea how to fix it. your video was very helpful to sort out the low water pressure.
No problem
Thanks! This gave me the confidence to fix this on my own as I had been struggling with other videos which assumed a pre-connected loop. Hot shower back!
You're welcome!
i bleeded one of my radiators and it caused it to this F1 fault and i didnt have a clue what it was all i can say is this video helped me out so much thank you.
No problem.
Thnk u sooooo much. I was home wid three kids n this boiler stopped working. Thnx to your video, I was able to fix da prob. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No problem.

+Fatima Awad thanks
Thanks so much! We just bought a new house and the hot water suddenly stopped - this fixed it!
You're welcome!
Brilliant video!
I’m not technically minded at all, but I got the boiler up and running in about a minute
Many thanks 🙏
No problem.

You're welcome!
Jan. You have saved me twice now from calling out an emergency engineer. Thanks!!
No problem Samantha.
Thanks for the helpful tips...made us chuckle that the dog was having a good old scratch outside the back door!
She is a character.
Great teamwork.
Thanks
Thank you very much - been stuck in a holiday let trying to suss out how to fix this as unlike any of the boilers we have at home - can finally get a nice warm shower :)
No problem.
Another cold night prevented, thanks for making this excellent video, 3 cheers!
No problem David.
Saved to the extremely useful videos library haha! Great job both, just one of the troubleshooting steps to do when getting your boiler back online! Thanks!
Yo.
I sort my glitch, thank you, guys.
Keep it up. It's giving so many clues for someone who able to fiddle around with no clue.
No problem.
Please remember folks, if your boiler pressure is dropping on a regular basis (monthly) topping it up all the time will introduce oxygenated water into the system more than it is required. Only top up your boiler pressure a few times a year, if its more than that getting an engineer out could save you alot of money in the long haul.
I must remember to call jan when my boiler stops working 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dont call Saul, call Jan , ha ha.
Brilliant! Thankyou. lifesaver .... the world needs more people like you both
Thanks Van.
Thank you so much Jan. Heating and hot water all working again thanks to this vid.
No problem.
Thanks you make a great team 👍
Cheers Colin.
Thank you I just bled our radiators for the winter and had an F1 code appear (water pressure low) I had no clue how to do this great video
No problem
Thanks for this. Nice clear instructions. 🙏
You're welcome!
Steady now!!,You could find yourself redundant hanging in the shed with the other tools !!,Only to be let out when there`s a bit DIY to be done,A very informative vid for the ladies.
Hot water from my combi was very hit and miss, sometimes worked but most others nothing. Checked the pressure which was on 1 so increased it to your recommendation of 1.5 and so far boiler kicks in 1st time. Thanks
Yes a common problem.
the filling loop on your boiler is easy to understand, I have a GloWom boiler which has a built in filling loop which has a central cut off up and down valve and two side valves which are difficult to turn the central cut off always has me foxed.
Top geeza and geezet - just saved my cold toes
No problem.
Wow, thank you both so much for making this video.
no problem.
Thanks Al , another great `show me how` video :-)
No problem.
Your videos have been great for me as my boiler is the same type.
No problem.
Thank you I fixed my boiler watching this
No problem Karen.
Thanks guys! I panicked because I had no hot water or heating and I did what you guys said in this video and it instantly solved the problem! Here’s me reading the boiler pack and it saying (contact emergency repairs and do not attempt any adjustments yourself) ... good old British morals of ( I ain’t paying for someone let’s google it) thanks you so much 👌👍
No problem.
Thank you so much your video is so helpful mine is working absolutely fine now 🥰👍

Thank you so much! You saved me! ❤️
You're welcome!
Really enjoyed the simplicity of your explanation , I’ve got an ideal logic plus 30 boiler and the central heating is ok but no hot water , someone suggested a flow turbine valve is this something I can fit myself or do I need to an engineer ,thanks
You will need an engineer who has to be gas safe registered to fix it.
Thanks

Great
Thank you very much.
Fine looking specimen that Jane is
Lucky me.
The trouble with combination boilers in very hard water is that they need power flushing all the time they scale up very quickly
Yes a common problem Ian.
How do you change selector knob if it doesn’t do anything? Just pull out?
Should do.
Thank you . For your help
No problem.
Many thanks.
You are welcome!
great channel guys
Thanks James.
Thank you so much this was so useful
No problem.
Nice video mate cheers
No problem Rich.
Brilliant thank you! Did the job 👍🏼
No problem.
Thanks
No problem
One of the valves doesn't close fully and lets a dribble of water through. Can i just leave the flexi pipe in place so when i want to top the pressure i can just turn the black levers to fill up ?
If i was to replace the faulty valve, would i need to turn off the mains water and flow and return valves on the boiler ?
I always leave the fill pipe connected. You will need to turn off the mains water. to fix the valve.
Great video.. is it important to know what the other pipes are entering the combination boiler? Is it the gas pipe, then the mains water and then the heating pipe which would outflow to the radiators?
No not really.
Why would lack of pressure affect hot water? My boiler lost pressure due to a leak but hot water was fine?
Not all Combis just the newer models.
the pressure is for both heating and hot water i thaught its only for heating and what does the pressure have to do with getting hot water good vid
I have this exact boiler except no filling loop I just have 1 valve to open to let water in. If I fill my boiler as high as 1.5, it will go up far too much when the heating is on. Is it normal for the pressure to raise so much when running?
Yes Amy quite normal.
Hi, we have same issue with Ariston boiler. Boiler not kick in when we turn hot water tap in kitchen. rarely we get hot water in kitchen once in blue moon even though bar pressure is between 1 and 2 around 1.6 . Upstairs boiler kicks in only in that case if you open hot water tap fully. no issues with central heating that work absolutely fine. Any suggestion ? we have asked our plumber he suggested it could be diverted valve or boiler issue.
Yes it will be a problem with the 3 way valve not turning to hot water to allow the boiler to fire up.
Found thus really helpful.
No problem.
detection
Good morning, I am after some advice please on balancing a radiator system, all my radiators have lockshields at both ends no trvs fitted, lockshields are identical and they both have the same caps on each lockshield so cannot distinguish between either my problem is I don't know which one to open and which one to close when balancing system your advice will be greatly received thanks once again
Dave
Hi Dave it does not matter which valve you choose on each radiator, Leave one fully open and turn the other one down. as they are all lock shields. Use pliers to turn them down.
Nice, well made informative video..top Job! Thanks
No problem Andrew.
...nice video mate!!
Thanks
Good video al and Jan, but the sound is very low ,had to use the captions.
Sorry about that
Taps connected to my boiler are hidden right up inside the boiler & I think there’s a reason for that !
No they are just more akward to get to for re-pressurising the boiler.
