Problem restarting Amtec boiler - no pressure

[electroheat]

Hi all,

I replaced a dead Myson CP53 pump on a pressurised Amptec water+heating system. That was easy enough but after restarting the system I found that there is no water at all going through the pump (I did open to valves surrounding it). Another problem is that the new pump makes one major racket but that's one for the reseller.

Thanks for any help,
EH

One quick Update: the pressure vessel dial shows no pressure. However, contrary to some sites I found on the matter in this one the air vent is located at the bottom.

It will probably be easy enough to pump air to 1bar with a bycicle pump but wanted to double check that's the right thing to do.

Thanks

You need to put water in the system, not air in the vessel.

Do you have a filling loop.

I believe I found the two ends to connect the loop to, unfortunately not the loop itself.

One quick question: will I need to pump the air as well or only water to reach 1bar?

thanks for your help in any case
