If you your boiler pressure drops below 1.5 bars or below what your owner’s manual for your boiler recommends then you need to add water to refill your system.

Below are some videos that cover how to add water to different types of systems to get correct boiler pressure. If boiler pressure too high then bleed your radiators.
