Hi im wondering if anyone could help.

The other day I increased the pressure on my boiler and ever since then I have no water at all coming from any hot taps in the house.
Heating is working fine just no water from hot taps. There is no error code or anything .. any ideas?

The boiler is a vokera evolve 28c if that helps, Thanks!
 
Sounds like you've not closed either one of the filling loop valves, or closed the cold inlet valve by mistake thinking it was the filling loop. Take another look underneath, usually second pipe in from the right,.

I just checked there, when I turn the valve it starts to increase the pressure. Both valves are set at 12 o'clock. Here's how it looks.
thank you for reply!

Looked at (another) video of the filling loop and even though not quite clear to me, it certainly wont='t do any harm to turn that right hand blue valve either 90 to 180 deg? either fully anticlock or clockwise and see if water flows, just open a hot tap and as the valve is turned then the boiler will fire up on hot water.
 
It must be something to do with that valve, you had/have mains there as it topped up the system? And if a boiler problem you should still get cold water from the hot taps. Presume you have water from the cold tap. As suggests above did you remove the blue handle and turn the valve by other means?

When I took the valve off I could see the inside was chewed up, I turned it with a set of pliers and you heard the water go back in to the system. Thank you so much for your help, everything now back to normal 🙂
