Your boiler should be running between the 1 bar and the 1.5 bar, which will be in the green section of the boiler pressure gauge. If the bar is hitting over 2.5 bars, then the pressure from the water in the system is too high, and anything below 1 bar is too low.
What happens if pressure is too high on boiler?
