Possible Causes
Faulty Cillit flow meter sending excessive pulses, Electrical noise on sensor wiring, Incorrect meter size programmed, Internal leak through bypass or mixing valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before probing electrical connections. Use caution when checking for leaks.
- Check for real leaks: Close all taps in the house and observe the water meter. If it still moves, there is a plumbing leak that must be fixed first.
- Inspect bypass/mixing valve: Ensure the Cillit bypass or blending valve is not partially open in a way that causes recirculation or ghost flow through the meter.
- Verify programming: Confirm that the correct flow meter size and pulses per liter are set in the controller according to the Cillit manual.
- Check sensor cable routing: Ensure the flow sensor cable is not run alongside high‑voltage cables that could induce noise. Re‑route or shield if necessary.
- Replace flow meter: If the controller shows flow when no water is being used, replace the Cillit turbine flow meter and retest.
