I wonder if you had 'foam' in the water pump, which would make the pump useless. At least it would have slowed the flow of antifreeze. Now that the anti foam junk is at work, you might just have air in the top of the engine.

Warm up the engine so that the thermostat opens (the top hose will get warm). Take off the cap on the overflow bottle and squeeze the top hose a few times. Be careful that you do not overflow the bottle! You are just trying to get bubbles in the system out.

If there is no air in the system and the engine fan is running properly, you may be in need of a new pump.
