Shut the systems down and drain them - open the fdc, either by removing a plug, or removing the check valve, and crack the control valves individually until you get water. Once you get water from one, keep trying the others in case it feeds more than one.
If you cant do that, pump water into the fdc with the systems drain until you get water coming out a main drain.
