    I need to increase pressure on a baxi megaflow HE IE 15 wall mounted condensing boiler. It says there is a filling loop of a metal braided hose and two taps. It says to open one tap and open the second slowly while watching pressure guage. I do not see a second tap

    I have photo but do not see upload link.

    The pressure is 0 but there is no warning and it heats. There is a sound like water flowing? If I cannot increase the pressure can i use it for today?

    Thanks

    You will see upload link for your pic is you choose 'go advanced' under the message box

    If you can hear water flowing, there is air present and will need topping up, filling maybe under the boiler or usually in your hot press.

    I do not see go advanced

    The filling loop hose was left connected. Is that why there is only one tap? Is it against regulations or dangerous to leave the filling loop hose connected.?

    Isn't the filling loop to top up and raise prerssure?

    Update: I turned off power as advised on baxi site and turned on tap till it was up three dots almost one bar i think.? But when i turned on boiler again it dropped almost to zero?

    But no sound of running water and it is heating. Is it safe to open the tap with the boiler running?

    Thanks

    EDIT. it is OK it came up to three dots with boiler on. Thanks

    Yes should be fine.
    The rise is just the water expanding as it heats. As long as not over 2.5 bar.
