To refill a central heating boiler, you will need to:
-
Locate the filling loop, which is usually a pair of flexible hoses that are connected to the boiler. These hoses will have a tap or valve on each end.
-
Turn off the power supply to the boiler and let it cool down.
-
Turn off the taps or valves on the filling loop.
-
Attach a hose to the tap or valve on one end of the filling loop, and place the other end of the hose in a container of cold water.
-
Open the tap or valve on the other end of the filling loop.
-
Slowly open the tap or valve on the first end of the filling loop to allow water to flow into the boiler.
-
Keep an eye on the water level in the boiler and stop filling when it reaches the maximum level.
-
Close the tap or valve on the first end of the filling loop and remove the hose.
-
Close the tap or valve on the other end of the filling loop.
-
Turn the power supply back on and restart the boiler.
It is important to follow these steps carefully and to use caution when refilling a central heating boiler. If you are not comfortable performing this task or are unsure of how to do it, it is best to contact a qualified plumber for assistance.
