    Did you check to make sure the pump was running and that the impeller was not restricted with settlement? No air bleeder at the coil or coils?

    You got a bad restriction. You need to flush backwards through the system if you can to get it cleaned out.

    That's a question for the person who installed it. Can the system be backed flushed? Your going to need to break the system down to find the restriction if not.

    If the system has zone valves they have to be open to perform a flush OR fill the boiler system. Most zone valves have a manual lever or setting to allow this with power off.
