Pressure setting

in THE MAIN WALL
I have a Weil McLain Bioler and hot water system. The pressure is set at about 100. What would be recommended max and min. Could this be causing a lack of circulation to my basement rads??

Thanks you

Regards

Steve

    Set at 100?

    Steve you need to call in a pro! Either the gauge is broken or you are reading it wrong. Most home systems run at 12 to 15 psi, most likely the system is airbound. Hope this helps John@Reliable

    100?

    Are you sure you are not reading the KPA scale? On some gauges, it is the outer scale or the scale with the largest numbers,very confusing. It would translate to about 14-15 psi which is about normal. Your relief valve would pop at about 30psi. Try purging or venting the basement rads or zone.
