Discuss Boiler issue - cant increase pressures in the Central Heating Forum area at PlumbersForums.net
You have water through your hot taps ?
Hi,
We have a potterton apollo boiler and it's showing a E1 fault due to a drop in pressure.
Normally I just pull down the green lever inside to increase the pressure but zilch is happening when I do this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
That green lever isn’t something I’m familiar wit, it looks a little like a pressure relief valve. It also looks like you may have an external filling loop connection setup as well?
Yes on the front, it's analogue.Is there an analogue (non digital) pressure gauge anywhere on the boiler?
Ok, before you attach the loop, has the analogue gauge dropped?Yes on the front, it's analogue.
I have the filler loop still, is there a way to bypass the green lever?

There are two valves with caps on them, they appear to be the old loop? Are you able to take a side photo?
Yes the two with caps on, can you take a side photo?Thanks, Here is a pic. Is it the two with caps on ?

Yes they do. Looks like they’re usable, precursor though- they may leak. Remove the caps, Attach the filling loop to both valves, and using a flat bladed screwdriver or a kitchen knife turn both valves and you shouldn’t be able to get boiler back up and running.

The cap won’t budge? Try holding the valve with an adjustable spanner whilst trying to remove the cap.
