hi i have a potterton profile 80el and i checked water pressure it was 0.3 bar. think i checked correct place as it is near some red round bottle with like a washing machine fixing to turn water on and off. so i filled to 1 bar now some of the rads have got warmer.
wondering what bar pressure should be? then will go about bleeding rads. some don't heat up at the bottom so i know it needs a flush will have to get someone in for that

Between 1, 1 and a half bar.

Bleed all radiators and then check pressure level and set if continues to lose pressure you either have a leak in system or get the pump checked.

OFF TOPIC:-

When doing car heater matrix pop to Tesco - get some horse meat and some washing machine descaler, feed it that, run for a bit then flush out
