    Hello Dear all,

    I have a natural gas boiler called BOSCH JUNKERS as can be seen in the attached picture.

    My natural gas boiler is too old. The pressure decreases day by day especially when I activate the heating system.

    How can I increase the pressure inside the system?

    Please help me because winter is coming :) :).

    Hallo liebe Leute,

    ich habe eine Erdgastherme namens BOSCH JUNKERS wie auf dem beigefügten Bild zu sehen ist.

    Mein Erdgaskessel ist zu alt. Der Druck sinkt von Tag zu Tag, besonders wenn ich die Heizung einschalte.

    Wie kann ich den Druck im System erhöhen?

    Bitte helfen Sie mir, denn der Winter steht vor der Tür :) :).

    >>21227196 Hello Dear Jony, Thank you so much but I saw that it is not the same combi as mine. Unfortunately, I do not have this blue tap.

    Yeah. I realized that it is not the same model. I just wanted it to serve as a reference for you to look for something similar. Let's see this other video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgQXy_6WpWU

    Here it is black.

    It is also possible that the knob has been lost and that is why you do not see it. You will have to try.

    This model of boiler has no internal water supply. You will need to look externally (on the installation) for a valve or two valves which serve to supplement the required pressure of approx. Often installers also use a connecting hose. In Poland, according to building law, this should be a disconnected connection (but no one obeys this these days). Look under the boiler or close to it, the water admittance person should watch the pressure gauge while filling....You can also connect to a drain valve plugged with a nut, but you need a hose to connect to the water.

    >>21227758 Hello Dear,
    Thank you so much.
    I have a hose to supply water to the boiler to increase pressure but I do not understand where I should connect my hose in the natural gas boiler that is why I published these pictures. Look at my picture please and if you see the location where I can connect my hose. Please let me know

    Under the boiler, on the right hand side you have a valve closed with a 3/4" chrmo-nickel plug .This is probably used to fill water into the system. After unscrewing the cap, turn it slightly to the left and see if water flows. Of course, it's better to prepare a rectangular bowl and used towels for the laundry early on so as not to flood everything. Of course, switch the Junkers off during the entire operation. Bleed the filling hose and fill the water to 1.5bar on the pressure gauge.

    I have the same Junkers ZSR 18-5 KE model and the same question about how to add water to increase the pressure. However, my setup includes a water reservoir.

    In these photos, there is no possibility of a water inlet. The water inlet must be somewhere nearby, e.g. on the floor or in a completely different room, possibly a hose connection.... Generally, this connection is a tragedy, I think that even in Poland it is rare for an installer to make such a flock (loading the tank on 1/2" hoses, no valves, security and order).

    I looked everywhere in my flat for possible valves that could help increase the pressure. Here’s what I found in the radiators.

    >>21258194 I used the second valve and water inlet to increase the pressure. Thanks all. Now I need to bleed out the radiators.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around increasing the pressure in a BOSCH JUNKERS natural gas boiler, particularly as the user experiences a daily decrease in pressure, especially when the heating system is activated. Various users provide guidance on locating the water supply valve necessary for refilling the system. It is noted that the specific model may lack an internal water supply, requiring an external connection for pressure adjustment. Users suggest checking under the boiler for a valve, using a hose to connect to a water source, and ensuring the pressure gauge reads approximately 1.5 bar after filling. Some users share their experiences with similar models and the challenges of finding the correct connection points for water supply.
