Possible Causes
- DHW flow rate too high for the boiler capacity
- DHW heat exchanger scaled
- Boiler firing rate too low for the demand
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Verify the DHW flow rate
Flow is within the boiler capacity - Step 2: Inspect the DHW heat exchanger for scale
Exchanger is clean - Step 3: Verify the boiler firing rate for the demand
Rate matches the DHW load
How to Reset
