Boiler pressure/Filling loop question

    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!

    EDIT: some photos:

    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?
