I have power to my water heater and my heating system of approx 14V but I’m still getting 3 red flashing lights. How can I clear the fault and use both systems please?

To clear the fault for the Whale WH1302 water heater with 3 red flashing lights, turn off the DC power supply. Once the lockout is cleared, you can turn the power back on and use the system again.
