Can somebody please explain how to get the hot water system working. I bought the 2013 Hawj used. It appears the previous owner drained the hot water tank. I don't think antifreeze was added. I want to put it back into use.
I turned on the water pump and the cold is working just fine. I turn on the hot water tap and it burps and gurgles and it appears some water is going through the hot water tap, but not much. The gas kicks in. The red indicator light on the control panel turns on, but then the light goes out in 5 or 10 seconds, but the gas is still on (heating the system).
I don't want to risk burning out the pump or risk heating an empty system. Do I need to do anything more than turn on the water pump and be patient?
