Volkera mynute 25ehe how to increase pressure

caramel08

Hi, I got my boiler serviced about a year ago and the person who serviced it mentioned that if the pressure dropped I could just twist one of the parts underneath to increase it back up to 1. Problem is I've forgotten which part and the pressure had dropped below 0.5. I'll try upload a photo if that helps thanks

It should be attached to a silver braided hose. The valve will either have a slot for a screwdriver to turn or a small black knob/lever

Hi
Am sorry to hop onto this forum but a few wise folk on here who could advise?
I have an immergas boiler - about 6-7 years old- water leaking down the front of it and underneath it onto worktops
Fan was making terrible sounds all weak and eventually water started dripping out from up inside the boiler
Had a rep from an RGI company out today- advised that the cylinder was blocked most probably due to hard water- a lot of neighbours have had the same problem- he said they could replace the cylinder ±700e but better off to get the whole boiler replaced with a Vokera25kw combi as well as emptying out all the 'black water' from a radiator- and guaranteed for 5 years

Pricing this at 2300-00 euro including VAT-

Any advice on whether or not this is a ball park figure for replacing a boiler with another one- he says the price is all the parts and labor for 1-1.5 days- they do have a good reputation (based on google) but don't know much about plumbing and really don't want to get taken for a ride

I plan to get a second quote anyway but any other advice or experience here would be welcomed

Thanks a million

If that price includes a powerflush(not chemical flush) and a magnetic filter fitted then it's about the right price. If neither of the above are included then it's way to expensive

I would recommend that you don't spend another penny on that boiler. Cut your losses with it and have something far more reliable installed.
As DTP says, price is about right with power flush and mag filter fitted.
