Problem Refilling Ideal Logic 15

[diegomirabal]

Hello, I´ve been having problems with my heating system, I tried to reset it both in the control panel and on the boiler (Ideal Logic 15), but I keep getting the same error code (low water pressure). Right now the pressure gauge is marking 0 psi, I know I need to get the pressure to at least 1 psi, The problem is I can´t find the filling loop, On the bottom of the boiler there is a yellow valve (I think is to cut the gas supply) and on the top I can see three pipes that go into the boiler (including the one with the pressure gauge) but none of them have valves or anything that looks like a flexible pipe. I went into the attic following the pipes (first time because this is a rented house) some of the pipes go to a water tank and then 3 more to a smaller tank on top of the other. Again I couldn't find any valves. Where do you think the filler loop could be located?. As you can tell I don´t know anything about boilers.

Thanks a lot!!

it wil lprobably be in he airing cupboard ,silver braided flexible pipe with tap either one end or both if your lucky there will be another guage if no guage put a 5 second squirt in then check the one on the boiler repeat till its at 1/1.5 bar or get some one else to watch the guage to tell you when its high enough

sounds like open vent, in that case it fills itself. check water level in small tank. Could be also blockage from the tank in that case it wouldnt fill. Did you try to open bleed valves on radiators to see if there is any water left as might be full of air.

If the pipes are attached to the boiler at the bottom it's a system boiler - thus requires pressure if only the gas as condensate are at bottom and two heating pipes at top it's a heat only and can be a said used on an open vent which should self fill. If it rented - get off the forum and get on the phone...... That's what you pay rent for.

Thanks a lot for your answers.
I Know this should be cover by the landlord, but I would like to try and fix it myself to learn in case I need to do it again in the future. Also when I went to the attic and check the water tanks, I got a little bit scared, if those tanks are providing the water Im drinking, I got bigger problems than the heating. I've been trying to post pictures so you can have a better look of the system and the state of it but the forum won't allow me. I´ll try to find a way.

Thanks again, you are really helping me here.

this is one bloody awful install. follow heating pipes, probably where hot water cylinder is your filling loop, mains connected to one of your heating pipes. however judging from pics this can be a nightmare. I would call landlord first as if something go wrong you will be liable.

That is one hell of a mess like galaxy says, get the landlord to sort it.
