No Water

[fatboy]

Hi my hot water tank is not filling up with water. I have water to the pipe leading into the tank but nothing comes in. As a result I have no hot water anywhere in the house.

Hope somebody can advise a quick solution to this problem.

Thanks

Pete

do you mean water going to cold water storage tank , but is not filling it up with water and cold water storage tank in the loft is dry ?

Thanks for the welcome. It's and electric cold water storage tank that heats the water to give me hot water. I check the supply and I have water there but for some reason it is not getting in to the tank and it is now bone dry.

Okay, ignore that link mustn't be allowing hotlinking, it was a pic of a HWC in a cupboard.

@fatboy - Is your system setup similar to this?

No nothing like that. I have no header. I live in a flat.

And for some reason this pic is on its side but the pipe at the top had water at that connector you can see but nothing filling up.
