E08
Atlantic Low Water Pressure / Pressure Switch Fault

Boiler shows E08 and will not start; may be accompanied by 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 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 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 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.
