Marey Short Cycling at Low Flow

Marey heater cycles on and off rapidly when a small amount of hot water is used (e.g., handwashing).

Possible Causes

Flow below minimum activation threshold, Single-handle faucet mixing causing intermittent flow, Oversized heater for very low demand, Flow sensor sensitivity issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work required initially.

Steps:

  • Increase flow: Open the hot tap more fully to maintain steady flow above the minimum required by the Marey unit.
  • Adjust faucet use: Avoid tiny trickles of hot water; instead, run a moderate flow for a shorter time.
  • Remove flow restrictors: Temporarily remove low-flow aerators to test if cycling improves.
  • Service flow sensor: If cycling persists at normal flows, have the flow sensor cleaned or replaced.

When to call a technician: If the unit short cycles even at high flow, indicating sensor or control issues.
