Hello everyone,
maybe this question is too basic, but:
Do you need to do anything special with the flow meters (the small glass tubes with a scale up to about 3 liters per minute) to make them show the flow? In our distribution boxes, all except four of them do not show any flow, even though there is definitely water running through the heating circuits (warm supply and return).
Unfortunately, my builder (or rather the builder of my general contractor) is no help and a complete disaster, so I trust the collective intelligence here in the forum much more than any of his statements... 🙄
Thanks in advance!

A Stiebel technician who visited two weeks ago noticed the supply and return lines were swapped, and this has since been fixed. So that shouldn’t be the issue, especially since four of the flow meters in the upstairs manifold are showing flow (while three others are not). In the downstairs manifold, none of the flow meters are showing any flow.D
