Vokera Mynute 28SE - Water Pressure between 0.5 and 1.0 Bar?

Hi,
I cannot get my Mynute 28SE going after the summer has come to and end !!.
The manual says the water pressure must be above 1.5 Bar but when I try to start it the guage indicates between the 0.5 and 1.0 bar range. Anyone experienced this before or does anyone have a solution to get the water pressure into the correct range? - Thanks

I cannot get my 28SE to relight, is there a nack to restarting the flame? Press. is above 15bar. When I turn it on, and crank up the temp setting, the pump comes on, but the reset light comes on after about 15secs, I can hear what appears to be an electronic ignition coming on, but no light up. Checked also the gas is on, and it is. The press dipped below 1 bar there last week, and it was only after this that the flame seems to have gone out, but as I mentioned its up above 1.5-2 bar now but still no joy...Help.

Hi There, You can pump water back into the system by connecting your hose pipe to the emergency release valve and opening it. The pressure of the mains water will raise the system pressure. When the gauge reaches 1.5 bar (Quite quickly) simply close the valve and turn off the water.

Use a proper screwon connector onto a pice of 1/2 inch qualplex to make a scure connection.

Sounds like you have a pressurised system (not an open system). You need to add pressure to the system. When cold, the static pressure in the system should be at minimum 1.0 Bar. Somewhere on the system, there should be a mains water quickfill, i.e. a connection from the high pressure mains water to the heating system. Is should have a flexible braided hose connection to the system with a valve that you can open/close. Connect the hose to the system (if not already connected), open the valve for a few seconds, close the valve. Now check the pressure gauge again. Repeat if necessary. Dont worry if you add too much, the safety valve on the system will release it. The pressure will increase as the water heats up. Good luck
