Boiler pressure/Filling loop question

Cobaltblue

Hey there!

I have a problem with the boiler in our aparment. We only have cold water at the moment so I was looking for a solution. It turns out that most of the time this is simply the pressure on the boiler. Our boiler is in the kitchen while the hotpress is in an extra room.

I found the filling loop on the hotpress and upped the pressure accordingly. It is now between 1 and 1,5 bar. Now the problem is that the pressue on the boiler still is at around zero.

My question is: shouldn't the pressure on the boiler go up as well? Do I have to do something on top of that? Is there boiler broken?

I also made a few pictures and will post them as soon as I figure out how.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

PS: the "ON" LED on the boiler is in fact glowing, but my camera flash makes it look like it is not.

Please remove the space between im and gur. I am not able to post pictures or links yet

The gauge at the boiler may be faulty, is the boiler running now?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Nothing has changed though. Still only cold water. I also did not change any setting on the boiler. Is it possible that we have to "restart" it somehow to work?
