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.
