Herz Low Water Pressure / Water Shortage

Boiler shows A17, pump runs but burner does not start, system may be cold

Possible Causes

Insufficient system pressure, leak in Herz heating circuit, faulty pressure sensor, stuck automatic air vent causing air lock

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the system to cool before refilling. Do not over-pressurise.

  • Check pressure gauge: If below the recommended cold pressure (typically 1.0–1.5 bar), open the filling loop and slowly refill until the correct pressure is reached, then close the valves.
  • Bleed air: Bleed radiators and the boiler's automatic air vent to remove trapped air.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look around radiators, valves, and under the Herz boiler for signs of water leakage.
  • Check pressure sensor: If pressure is correct but A17 remains, the Herz pressure sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
