Need help re-pressurising a Vokera Mynute HE

[Geoggy]

Hi,

First off - I know nothing about plumbing. Having spoken to Vokera helpline today they say we need to re-pressurise the boiler as it is on 0 and should be on 1 / 1.5

The boiler is attached to a megaflow system. Having read the boiler instructions, and seen the youtube videos about filling loops, I can't for the life of me find where a filling loop might go ? My other half had this problem before I moved in and an engineer did it, but she said he didn't use a loop stating "it wasnt a standard fitting".

I have taken a couple of pictures and uploaded them here;

Is there a silver braided hose anywhere

I see the hose on the right hand side of that 2 port. Take a picture of that, the silver hose. There will be a valve either side of it you need to turn them both on until you get to 1.5 bar

How quickly is the pressure dropping? Given that you have been able to re-pressurize, my next and immediate thought is why is there a repeated pressure loss?

Good spot that. even zoomed in I found it difficult to see.

Mind you, that may be due to the whiskey!

Geoggy, on the first picture - you see where the brass fitting goes into the white cylinder, well in the photo - follow that back along the pipe to the first valve (looks like a tap without a handle) - the silver braided hose is just behind that. - It goes downwards, right next to the water cylinder.
