Water pressure?

1. The pressure indicated is 1 Bar.. when the Boiler comes on it goes to 1.5 Bar. Is this normal?
2. Please explain clearly how to increase the water pressure

hi, 1 bar is ok on combi boiler, if it gets to low the boiler wont work, there could be a red filling knob built in inside boiler casing, or done with a removable fillin loop from mains. its easy 2 do but unless your competent i would get a engineer to adjust it . be safer. cheers!

it is normal for the water pressure to increase when boiler is a light. as for topping up the pressure there should be a filling loop check your user manual for directions on where and how to use. If not in manual there should b a small flexible silver pipe that forms a loop between two pipes ( should be on pipework under boiler). Sometimes the loop is disconnected so check its not been left on top boiler or is hanging up in the location of the boiler
