No water thru the group head

It sounds like you may have a clog in the water line or the tubing that leads from the water tank to the 2nd group head of your coffee machine. To address this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Disconnect the tubing from the group head and the water tank.
2. Flush the tubing with hot water to remove any buildup or debris.
3. Check the inlet and outlet holes on the group head to make sure they are not clogged or obstructed.
4. Reattach the tubing to the group head and the water tank, making sure it is securely connected.
5. Test the water flow to see if it is now flowing properly.

If the water still does not flow after following these steps, you may need to disassemble the group head and inspect it for any further blockages or damage. If you are not familiar with this type of maintenance, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional.

problem in the tap washer (expanded and blocking the water flow
blockage inn the connection where the shower head connects at the wall
hot water flow restrictor so that you will not get burnt by the hot water --test by turning on the cold water first and then opening the hot tap as well

As you have put it water flows from boiler to group head so the arrow on the solenoid should be this direction.

You have huge corrosion and scale in the boiler. Your heating element will be fried soon. Boiler must be opened up and cleaned, element may be salvageable. USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER NEVER EVER TAP.

There could be a couple of reasons for this. The simplest could just be that you need a new group (brew) solenoid valve, yours might not being opening fully. You could also have a clog some where. Take the shower head out and soak it in PuroCafe over night. If that doesn't fix it you would have to start checking the jets in the head and or the tubing that supplies water from the heat exchanger to the groups.

when you open the hot water valve all the way does the pump come one? You might have a newer version that has a mix valve. This allows a controlled amount of cold water to be mixed in with the boiling water from the boiler. If so you would find an adjustment (usually just a black knob) that is next to that valve. If the final amount of water for the espresso is fluctuating then you have a problem with your flow meters (dirty impellors or bad field sensors). If you notice a different in the amount of water flowing from one group to the next then something is clogging up the jets or group heads. It could also be a sign of your dispersion screens going bad or other stuff. Have you had it maintenance within the last six months. I have the manual for that machine if you need a copy.

Remove the shower screen and press button to brew, if water flows the the holes in the screw/diffuser is blocked, if water does not flow then the blockage is at the solenoid or within the group head chamber. This problem I have notice when someone brewed without the shower and screw in place.

First step, increase the grinder size. Note: only change grinder setting while the grinder is spinning. If that does not work, look into cleaning your brew group screens. The machine should have came with a key to remove the screen. If your machine as a preground option try making a preground coffee without inserting coffee to see if only water will come out. If water comes out then you know its your grinder. Usually too small of grinder sizes will stop water flow.
