I have a 10 yr old Ferolli Domicompact boiler. After turning the hot water tap on the pressure didn't seem right and the water runs cold.

The error message says F37 which the manual shows as a water pressure or sensor prob.

I've Google it and a guy shows how to repressurise by opening 2 black valves.

I've tried this and nothing. There is no movement on the pressure gauge or the sound of water.

Any ideas much appreciated. I could without having to call out a plumber...thanks in advance.

If you try googling you might find someone who's had a very similar problem and posted the answer online

A world all of his own

"You have turned the two black valves and the pressure didn't rise??

Yes did that and nothing.

Boiler was off at the time and tried again when it was on. Not sure which way was correct."

I might be wrong, but that sounds like you're trying to repressurise the heating side of the system.

If you're getting an error code relating to pressure, it might be that your incoming water supply pressure is low.

Is the cold tap pressure low?

No it doesn't seem so. Although when I initially turned the hot water tap on that did.

always represurise your system at cold take up to one bar or over 1 and a quarter

if your valve tops is broken nothing will happen if they are plastic handle on the filler loops

note if your pressurised expansion tank is now faulty you wont get any pressure in your system

to represurise your expansion tank you need a bicycle pump or car pump to pump up your expansion tank first before repressurising your main central heating system

i expect the expansion tank has gone faulty normal way to have these repaired is fit an external pressurised tank external to the boiler

Thanks. I'm just trying to get my head around the possibilities and solutions.

Hmmmm you can repressurise by pumping it up. What would stop it depressurising?

You can’t repressure the vessel unless you open a drain cock on the boiler .

Someone’s giving you bad advice
