Please help me find the water top up valve,

arikv

Hi, I've attached two pictures of my hot press, there are 4 valves and I'm not sure which one do I need to open in order to being the water pressure back up to above 1 bar.
Also, they all seem to be open already, is this what you call a semi sealed. And if I open one a bit more, do I need to close it back to its starting point?



Thanks in advance.

You should photograph the top half of the flexy hose in pic1, that is where it should be.

As billy said follow the steel flexi and the valve is on the other end of it but looking at the gauge the water pressure is just under 1 bar so why do you need to top it up

What's at the top of the flexi hose ? That's where mine is, close to the pressure meter....

Hi Billy/ nowuckenfurries,
I've attached two picture taken above pic1.

Robbie, I thought that it needs to always stay above 1 bar, isn't it?

We need to see a photo from under to show the fitting hidden by the shelf.

And it needs to stay above half a bar for a sealed system

At the end of the flexi there should be a valve its hidden by the shelf.At the pressure your heating is at it should work fine there is no need to top it up unless your boiler has shut down on low water.

Thats it, quarter turn to fully open.

Do not over go it or you'll have more problems.

Thanks Billy and everyone for your help, I`ve topped it up to just above 1bar in case I`ll forget.
