How do I fix the F22 error on my boiler?
How Is The Vaillant Boiler F22 Fault Fixed?
- Switch off the boiler.
- Wait for the boiler to cool.
- Locate the filling loop – this is usually under the boiler.
- Turn the valves.
- Keep watching the pressure gauge.
- When the needle gets to the 1.5 bar mark, return the valves to their original position.
Why does my boiler keep saying F22?
The Vaillant boiler F22 error code indicates low water pressure. This may be caused by insufficient water in your heating system, or a system that leaks (the boiler pressure is consistently dropping in the latter scenario).
How do you lower the pressure on a glow worm boiler?
The most common way of resolving this is to drain water from the radiators. Open the valve, using a radiator key, until the water pressure reading on your boiler drops to around 1.3 bar.
What can happen if boiler pressure is too high?
What happens when the boiler pressure is too high is that the system comes under unnecessary strain. This often means that the parts in the boiler become worn down by the high boiler pressure and seals and pipes crack, allowing water to leak out of the bottom.
Does running hot water reduce boiler pressure?
Naturally, parts expand when they heat up. So, as your heating/hot water comes on, you’ll see the pressure slowly rise. However, there should be pressure release devices in your boiler that stop pressure rising too far. So, you should expect to see your boiler’s rise by less than 0.3 bar.
Is it safe to use a boiler with low pressure?
Is low boiler pressure dangerous? No – the good news is low boiler pressure isn’t dangerous. While you might not notice any water escaping, over time the pressure in the system falls until it’s too low. If you’ve just bled the radiators, you might also see the boiler pressure dropping.
