OK, first give us more information about your system. Is a water tank, like a cylinder that produces domestic hot water an also heats radiators , is it made by JSW... or who? BTU? OK pal? More info please.

Ok, I have a Bradford White automatic storage water heater. It is a domestic water that heats up the radiators as well. I tried to bleed the radiators on the 2nd fl but no water comes out at all!

Do you know if you have a pump in the system< sometimes the pump stops running and the water doen't circulate. Also... is there a manometer or gage to see the pressure?

I don't see a pressure gauge on the water heater. The is only 1 on the heater. There are so many knobs to the heater I don't know which 1 I'm suppose to turn on to fill the water heater up.
