Troubleshooting
Symptom
| Cause|
Remedy
---|---|---
No flow or low flow rate
| Partially closed isolation valve.| Open isolation valve.
The head of water is below the minimum distance required.| Refer to the
specification for the minimum distance required.
Hot or cold water being drawn off
elsewhere causes pressure changes or instantaneous boiler temperature
changes.

Airlock or partial blockage in the supply pipework.| Flush through pipework to
ensure the removal of debris and any airlocks.
Water dripping from taps
| This is normal for a short time after using the taps.| This is caused by
residual water tension, the build-up of water in the tap body.
If water continues to drip,
possibly due to the ceramic disc valves.
