Marey
Flow Interruption / Demand Exceeds Capacity
Marey tankless heater shuts off when another fixture is opened; water goes cold mid-use.

Possible Causes
Total flow exceeding heater capacity, Inadequate gas supply for high demand, Undersized electrical supply (electric models), Flow sensor misreading at low flow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal work required initially.
Steps:
- Limit simultaneous use: Avoid running multiple showers or large hot water loads at the same time. Compare your Marey model’s GPM rating to your actual usage.
- Reduce temperature setpoint: Lowering the set temperature reduces required energy and may allow more stable operation under higher flow.
- Check gas/electric supply: Ensure gas line size and regulator match Marey specifications, and that electrical breakers and wiring are sized correctly.
- Clean inlet filter and aerators: Restore proper flow characteristics by cleaning filters and fixtures.
When to call a technician: If the unit shuts off even at low demand, or if gas/electrical supply sizing needs verification.
