Mend Valiant Heating Boiler Hot Water

Valiant boiler but no water out of hot taps?

We have a valiant boiler and have no water at all coming out of the hot taps or shower. The pressure gauge is well below the recommended 1 bar- it is as low as possible! I guess this means the water needs filling but how do you do that?

Cheers pal, that has sorted it. Thanks very much indeed for your help! Really appreciate it.

no, that is on the control panel, the one you are looking for on on the underside of the boiler, quite central

would the thumb wheel have 1 to 9 written on it?

if you follow the mains pipe up into the boiler there should be an isolating valve on the underside of the boiler, sometimes it is a balafix type with a screwdriver slot , other times it can be a white/grey thumbwheel, make sure this is open.

you are right that has no effect on getting no water out of taps. I have increased the pressure to 1.5, but still no water out of hot taps

the pressure guage being low is a different problem. below your boiler you would normally find a silver braided hose between 2 of the pipes, on one end of the will be a small tap, opening this will increase the boiler pressure, recharge this to between 1-1.5 bar.
if this does not work then I would look at a stop cock being closed somewhere.
Knowing the model of the boiler would help though.
