    Ideal Combi - Pressure too high - please help :0(

    My daughter was trying to be helpful by way of bleeding our rads. This resulted in 0 pressure showing on the pressure gage. I then attempted to increase the pressure to 1.5 however the gauge thingy proceeded almost immediately to 4.

    I tried to reduce this by bleeding the rads again by it's only reducing the pressure slightly. I've now also got water gushing out of the overflow pipe at the side of the house.

    Hope someone can help....any advise would be much appreciated.

    It sounds like you have gone to high with the pressure and lifted the relief valve !
    It should drop back to a working pressure on its own providing you have shut off the water supply.

      make sure the filling loop is turned off,

      keep on bleeding the rads as you are doing ,the pressure will go down but

      it might take a while.
