How to increase pressure in Glow worm Betacom 24c boiler

[djs43]

Hi all,

Please can someone confirm how I increase the pressure in my boiler which is currently sat on .5 bar using the filling loop i.e. which valves I need to open? Photo attached.
Many thanks indeed,
Daniel

you will have either one or two taps on the loop

Look in the manual it will tell you in there but some Glow worm boilers will have a blue plastic cap underneath the boiler on the right turn it and it will let the water through. Sometimes installers fit filling loops onto the pipework (metal flexible hose) open both valves and turn off when reached to 1bar when system is cold and not running.

Hi there mate, the betacom doesn't have a filling point attached to underside of the boiler if it's one of the older ones so if you look on the pipe work below you'll see a silver braided hose linking two pipes together , or you'll find the hose has been removed and simply hangin beside fill point valves,
