What is the normal operating pressure for powermax boiler?
Q. The boiler was locked out, the pressure was almost nil. I re-pressurised it to 1 bar and there was a green light. But in an hour, the pressure reached to 2.1 bar. Is that normal? On searching web its showing anything between 1 bar and 2.5 bar is normal. It is Range Powermax 155x model.

A. 1 to 1.5 bar is normal but the pressure will increase as the system warms up if its getting to 2.5 it may be that the expansion tank (the red thing ) is in need of recharging Ask the engineer to do this next time you have it serviced, not urgent unless it gets to 3 bar. corgi engineer
