E08
Atlantic Low Water Pressure / Pressure Switch Fault

Boiler shows E08 and will not start; may be accompanied by a low or zero pressure reading on the gauge.

Possible Causes

Insufficient system water pressure, Leak in heating circuit, Faulty water pressure sensor, Blocked pressure sensing tube

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the system to cool before topping up the pressure. Never over-pressurize the system.

  • Check pressure gauge: Confirm the gauge reads below the recommended level (usually under 0.8 bar). If so, the boiler correctly detects low pressure.
  • Top up the system: Locate the filling loop (flexible hose or built-in valves). Open the valves slowly until the pressure reaches 1.0–1.5 bar, then close both valves tightly.
  • Bleed air: Bleed radiators to remove trapped air, then recheck and adjust the pressure.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look for visible water around radiators, valves, and under the boiler. Persistent pressure loss indicates a leak that must be repaired.
  • Sensor issues: If pressure is normal but E08 persists, the pressure sensor or its tube may be blocked or faulty—this requires a technician.
