If the installation is fitted with a heating floor, the most
common failures are those listed below:
FAILURE CASES
1- Clogged filter*
or sludge in system
2- Pump out of order
3-Leak
4- Clogged heating
circuit (crushed pipe)
5- Misbalance
6- Floor undersized or
charge losses too high
* Not required and not shown on the device.

CONSEQUENCES
Flow pressure too high
∆T too high (>7)
Zero flow pressure
current too high (rotor locked)
zero current (winding cut off)
pump stuck
Low level in expansion vessel
Very high difference between floor
