    Loss of water and pressure in my greenstar pressurised system

    The green light in my greenstar to pressurised system has gone out after I lost water and pressure changing a radiator and valves. I re-filled the system and pressurised it back to 1.1 bar but the green light won't come on. It briefly came on when the hot water started but went out again.
