Possible Causes

Clogged inlet filter, Partially closed isolation valve, Blocked aerators or shower head, Faulty or scaled flow sensor in Kospel hydraulic block

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before opening any water connections.

  • 1. Check supply valves: Ensure the cold-water isolation valve feeding the heater is fully open.
  • 2. Clean inlet filter: Close the inlet valve, relieve pressure by opening a hot tap, then remove and clean the inlet filter/strainer at the heater’s cold-water connection.
  • 3. Check downstream restrictions: Clean or replace clogged faucet aerators and shower heads that may be restricting flow.
  • 4. Inspect flow sensor: Remove the cover and locate the flow sensor in the hydraulic block. Check for scale or debris; clean gently with descaling solution if accessible.
  • 5. Flow test: With valves open, measure flow rate at a hot tap (using a container and stopwatch). Compare to the minimum flow specified by Kospel. If household plumbing cannot provide sufficient flow, consult a plumber.
