Talk about non-Bongo stuff. BUT KEEP IT CLEAN....there are children watching. Smut, filth, and anything offensive will not be tolerated and removed immediately.

Vallient Ecotech 24 combi boiler how to top up water level

Post by New Forest Terrier » Sat Jan 16, 2016 5:02 pm

Know this is not Bongo related, but wonder if any techies can offer some advice. I have a Vallient Ecotec 24 pro combi boiler which is not working due to low water pressure. Usually there is a tap underneath to add water to increase the pressure beneath the boiler but there is no sign of them on mine, Can find no sign of one on this boiler, just metal pipes. You tube videos show two plastic taps underneath, but cannot find them.

Does anyone know this type of boiler and can tell me how to go about sorting this out?

Problem solved. Black tap hidden behind the washing machine. Water now topped up and boiler running, Just nothing like the instructions. Feel a bit of an idiot but glad its fixed.

Typical Helen, after seeing the Latvians opposite installing a satellite dish by standing on a wheelie bin with the wheels wedged so it did not set off down the hill.

This is a replacement boiler, using the pipework connections from an old Worcester, so it looks things were moved to fit the installation already there. Apart from a scraped hand from tracing the pipework all is now good and we have heat for what you northerners would consider a warm evening but us effete Southerners think is freezing
