Kripsol Low Flow at Reduced Pump Speed

Heater frequently shuts down with no code when the pump speed is reduced on a variable-speed pump.

Possible Causes

Pump speed too low to satisfy Kripsol flow switch, Excessive head loss in plumbing, Dirty filter at low RPM, Flow switch calibration not matched to system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting internal components. Pump programming can usually be changed from the pump controller.

  • Increase minimum speed: Raise the minimum RPM of the variable-speed pump when the Kripsol heater is scheduled to run.
  • Clean filter: Ensure the filter is clean so that adequate flow is maintained even at lower speeds.
  • Observe flow switch: Verify that the Kripsol flow switch closes reliably at the chosen pump speed. If not, adjust speed or consult Kripsol for compatible flow requirements.
  • Schedule coordination: Program the pump to run at higher speed during heating periods and lower speed at other times.
