    1. If the plastic knobs are twisted, try to remove them and use such a clever key to vent the radiators fits perfectly in most models
    2. If your model on the left side does not have such a black knob, check if there is a stump on the right side where you can insert a flat screwdriver and open the valve. Some installers install release valves on the system.
    3.If the valve is hard (that is, you have to put a lot of force into it), try to move right left so it has to release it in the end, it is important because at least in the WH1B models the release valve is defective and if we do it so-called on HAMA, maybe later let it pass and then the safety valve will make a swimming pool in the bathroom :P
    4. The best pressure is 1 bar (when idle)
    5. If someone would like to drain excess water, the method is simple, i.e.
    a) turn off all valves except for gas and the second one on the left because it is the DHW outlet
    b) turn on hot water (it should not run)
    c) unscrew the water release valve and now the magic is flowing from the tap water, thus draining the excess water from the central heating system.
    d) close the water admission valve
    e) unscrew the valves and look at the water that flows from the tap should be cloudy, brown or black, i.e. we rinsed the system a bit by the way :D .
    f) check whether the vent in the boiler is open or not
    g) fire up the boiler
    h) after some time, the highest radiator should be vented

    It's an interesting theory.

    It's probably only in your systems, because there should also be a check valve on the stub that allows water to do so.

    1 bar is an interesting theory because it concerns the topic of unsealing heaters after some time and I'm not talking about wissmann because junkers or beretta have the same problem and apply to this theory for some time and my clients haven't complained yet.

    Added after 6 [minutes]:

    Only in 3-position valves I encountered this problem (water draining through the tap), I can be wrong, but it always worked: p

    Please correct any spelling mistakes

    Hello
    I have a question, I don't know anything about stoves. My blood pressure dropped to 0.3 bar. I wanted to fill, unscrewed the valve and heard such a squeal: / the fact that the pressure has increased to almost 1.0 bar but I'm afraid if something is wrong. I am asking for help and tips, what could be the reason and whether to call the service?

    And where is the squeaking from?

    It squeaks when admitting water because there is a small hole and the water flows quickly.

    Thank you for your answer, I am calm :)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around increasing the heating pressure in the VITOPEND 100 WH central heating system, which is reported to be below the recommended minimum of 0.8 bar. Users share various methods to refill the system, primarily by adding water through a black knob located at the bottom of the boiler. It is emphasized that care should be taken to monitor the pressure gauge while refilling. Some users encounter difficulties with the valve operation, suggesting the use of pliers for stubborn knobs. Additionally, there are inquiries about bleeding radiators, with advice on whether to keep valves open or closed during the process. The importance of maintaining proper pressure levels for efficient heating is highlighted, with a recommended pressure range of 1.2 to 1.5 bar for optimal performance.
