    You need to check the pressure on the system. There should be a gauge on the boiler. 12 PSI (cold) is a good starting point for most applications of one floor. With out the pressure the water will not elevate and move through the system.

    The circulator pump could also have a problem but check the pressure first. Some systems have a auto fill valve that will add more water when needed.
