Possible Causes

Flow rate too high for heater capacity, Partially blocked inlet filter causing variable flow, Faulty flow sensor, Incorrect power setting or phase loss

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before opening the unit.

  • Adjust flow: Reduce the flow at the tap or install a flow restrictor to keep flow within the heater's rated range.
  • Clean inlet filter: Remove and clean the cold inlet filter to ensure stable flow.
  • Check power and phases: Verify that all required phases are present and that the heater is wired correctly.
  • Inspect flow sensor: Clean or replace the flow sensor if it is sticking or giving erratic readings.
