i recently replaced the pump on my 2 group faema due to a fluid o tech pump because it was a bit cheaper. its been working great for a few months now until i moved the machine up stairs. i did briefly attempt to make the machine self draw from a pail but that didn't work so i had a new water line run. Now on a new line the machine still wont fill, when auto fill kicks in the pump kicks in and the boiler level remains the same. i have tried the manual fill paddle but i hear nothing when i press it, i bled the air out of the new line and tried a few other things i could think of that just got me really wet. Im at a loss.

EDIT: fixed, plumber installed some kind of flow restrictor shut off valve that had to be changed out, silly plumbers.
