    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!

    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.
