The system at our student house appears to run around 1.0 bar or just over, but has reached 2.2-2.5 bar at times... Don't know if thats any help. I assume its different for each setup though?

Our house is also set at 1.1/1.2 bar. That's suppossed to be the 'normal' operating pressure according to the owners manual.
