Hi All

My resevior ran dry and all the water in my geysers went too. I have since filled it up and made sure that water was in the geysers.
Problem is, the water is trickling out slowly, it is getting hot. No pressure at all.
Do I leave my geysers off??
I also have a solar panel heating system.
How can I fix this without calling out a plumber??

Thanks
Braam

First, make sure the valve (geyser) is not clogged with debris. Then open all geysers at the same time and let it run for few minutes. Close them and open one geyser. See if it has better flow. Second, make sure your "reservoir" has air coming in. To let air in, open and close safety valve for few seconds to release air and until water starts running out. See if that helped. Back to you.
