What does E10 mean on an Alpha boiler?
low boiler pressure
If you have got low boiler pressure, then your boiler probably shows an E10 fault code. It will also show low pressure on the gauge if you check that. That means that you have lost too much pressure. This indicates that there is a heating system leak somewhere in your home heating system.
How do I fix the ignition failure on my Alpha boiler?
This fault can often be fixed quite easily by resetting your boiler. To do this on most Alpha boilers, you just need to rotate the switch on the front of the boiler to position 3. After about 30 seconds the boiler should then attempt to restart.
How often should you need to top up boiler pressure?
Ideally, you shouldn’t need to top up your boiler pressure very often. But if the pressure drops more than once or twice a year, check all visible pipes for signs of water leaks. You might also find green deposits near joins in copper pipework, or stains on the skirting boards or ceilings.
Can I fix low boiler pressure myself?
If you have a leak in your system, you should not attempt to fix it yourself. To fix your boiler pressure you first need the leak fixed. The abled radiator is not a problem. If there is no leak, or a professional fixed the leak, you can start re-pressurising your boiler and central heating system.
How old is my Alpha boiler?
You can find out the age of a boiler by looking at its serial number. A boiler’s serial number looks like a long barcode and is stuck somewhere on the outside of the boiler. It will include a series of numbers and letters which will reveal the age of the boiler.

Do the Alpha Intec boilers have a condensate trap?
Provision must be made for the safe disposal of condensate produced by the flue gases of the Alpha InTec boilers and reference should be made to BS 6798 for the requirements on the disposal of condensate. The boilers incorporate a condensate trap which has a seal of 75 mm, therefore no additional trap is required.
