How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Components may be hot. Allow cooling before handling.

  • Check valves: Ensure all isolation valves on the boiler and nearby pipework are fully open.
  • Clean strainers: Many Hoval systems include Y-strainers on the return. Isolate, depressurise, and clean the strainer basket of sludge and debris.
  • Adjust pump: Increase the circulation pump speed or set it to automatic adaptive mode if available.
  • System balancing: If some circuits are over-restricted, a heating engineer should rebalance the system to ensure adequate flow through the boiler.
