Hello i have a 2 year old Peerless Boiler and i had a question im not to mechanical so please bear with me. The circular red and blue gauge on the front of the boiler my top is moving and telling the temp, but the bottom in blue is at 0 and doesnt move, is my gauge broken or might there be something else wrong here? I know i have to call a HVAC pro but right now im so strapped for cash its not funny any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i have no water tank my hot water gets heated directly from my boiler.

    Seems like the water pressure is low . There is a pressure reducing valve piped to the system , it would look like a bell . Is it shut off , stuck or may be bad ...

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    If that gauge is accurate you’d better get it checked. 

    With the boiler cold manually add water and see if the gauge rises!

    Could it be the feeder line or is the gauge broken? I have talked to several people and they all say that after a few years these gauges will break. Very cheaply made products.
