What to do if the geothermal pressure is not enough
Geothermal heating systems provide comfortable indoor temperatures for many homes in winter, but sometimes there is a problem of insufficient geothermal pressure, resulting in poor heating effects. This article will provide structured analysis and solutions around the geothermal pressure issue that has been hotly discussed across the Internet recently.
1. Common causes of insufficient geothermal pressure

According to hot topic discussions in the past 10 days, the main reasons for insufficient geothermal pressure include:
| Reason | Proportion | Typical performance |
|---|---|---|
| System leaks | 35% | The pressure gauge continues to drop and the ground is wet |
| Water pump failure | 25% | Loud noise and poor circulation |
| clogged pipes | 20% | Some areas are not hot and the temperature difference is obvious |
| Insufficient hydration | 15% | The pressure gauge is lower than the standard value (1-1.5Bar) |
| other reasons | 5% | If the valve is not fully opened, etc. |
2. Solution
To address the above problems, the following measures can be taken:
1. Check whether the system is leaking
Close the water replenishing valve and observe the pressure gauge changes. If the pressure continues to drop, check for leaks in the pipe or manifold interface.
2. Maintain or replace water pump
If the water pump makes abnormal noise or the circulation is weak, you can try to clean the filter; in severe cases, you need to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
3. Clean the pipes
Use professional cleaning equipment to remove silt or scale in pipes and restore smooth water flow.
4. Supplement system pressure
Fill the water supply valve with water until the pressure gauge displays 1-1.5Bar (refer to the equipment manual for details).
3. Recently popular related questions and answers
| question | Frequent answers |
|---|---|
| What should I do if I can’t make up for the pressure? | Check whether the water replenishment valve is fully open or there is air that has not been discharged. |
| The floor heating is half hot and half not hot. | Prioritize exhaust, then check the manifold valve |
| Pressure drops too quickly | If the drop exceeds 0.5 Bar in 24 hours, emergency leak detection is required. |
4. Preventive measures
To avoid geothermal stress problems, it is recommended to:
1. Professional testing system every year before heating;
2. Clean the pipes regularly (2-3 years/time);
3. Install a pressure alarm device for real-time monitoring.
Summary
The cause of insufficient geothermal pressure needs to be specifically investigated. Most problems can be solved through water replenishment, exhaust or simple maintenance. If your own treatment fails, be sure to contact a professional floor heating service provider to ensure the safe operation of the system.
