Vaillant F22: Low water pressure (dry fire protection)

Usually a quick fix

What it means

Pressure has dropped below about 0.5 bar so the boiler will not run.

Safe things to try first

  1. Top up via the filling loop to 1.2 bar. Press reset.

When to call an engineer

If the pressure falls again within days, there is a leak or expansion vessel fault.

Never remove the boiler cover or work on gas components yourself. It is illegal unless you are Gas Safe registered, and it will void your warranty.
