Hi
I just had a quick web search,mine is the via aqua which I thought was the same,just a name change,but on seeing it ,it looks a bit different. mine has a screw type gadget on top that I just opened and filled up
After that ,it spat a bit of air,then all was well
I have just turned mine off and back on again and more air came out, but working ok

Hi Tim I returned your pm but I just wanted to add, you do have the taps open dont you, I know, stupid question but thought I'd ask and that button on top I had to press it heaps sort of like if you were giving CPR.
