Inefficient heating:Low boiler pressure can result in reduced heating performance.The water may not reach the desired temperature,leading to inadequate heating of the space.
Cold water supply:Low pressure can also affect the supply of hot water to taps and showers.The water may not flow with sufficient force,resulting in reduced water pressure and potentially cold showers.
Boiler breakdown:In some cases,extremely low pressure can cause the boiler to shut down completely.This can be a safety feature to prevent damage to the system.If the pressure is too low, the boiler may not function at all,leaving you without heating or hot water.
Leaks:Low pressure can also indicate a leak in the boiler system.If there is a leak,it needs to be addressed promptly to avoid further damage and potential water damage to the surrounding area.
To address low boiler pressure,it is important to check for any visible leaks in the system and ensure that the filling loop or pressure relief valve is properly closed.If the pressure continues to be low.it is recommended to contact a qualified heating engineer to diagnose and fix the issue.
