Hi All

I have been struggling for a while to get my Fracino Classic 2 group to work. A short back story:

* We bought it 2nd hand, and when we first filled it with water (through a flojet, and then DISconnected) it heated up, created steam etc., but at just drained the whole way through, fully emptying the tank. After turning it off since then it hasn't created any heat

* We have subsequently created a permanent attachment to the Flojet (see pic) and Fracino tell me we need 9bar pressure. The pressure gauge does build up to 9/10 bar (but flickers a lot) but this takes place over 2/3 minutes before much heat can be generated, then it kind of 'fails' and the pressure is released and there is a small amount of leaking at the connection where the plastic is threaded to the steel connector.

After that, the red LEDs just keep blinking and nothing happens.

I've tried this
a.) With the water pump connected, and turned on
b.) With the water pump connected, and turned off
c.) with no water pump connected

So I guess my question is, do you think its not working just because there isn't enough pressure building up due to the leaking, or is there something more serious wrong with the machine?

NB: It has otherwise not worked since we bought it second hand!

Thanks so much for any help,
Tim
