Troubleshooting
Remedy
see chapter "Preparing the Appliance"
Open tap on pressure side
Check the water reservoir.
Check fuses and electrical connections
Pull out the mains plug, let the pump cool down,
clean the suction area, prevent dry running
In order to prevent a repetition, the system should
be checked for leaks and sealed.
Check connections including sealings and control
the water outlet.
The smallest of leakages can affect the operation
adversely.
Fill storage boiler with 2.0 bar. See chapter "Main-
tenance"
Check backflow valve on suction side.
Clean suction filter or check valve (special acces-
sories)
Keep max. flow height, see technical data. If nec-
essary, select a different hose diameter or hose
length.
Noise caused by operations and the noise can be
reduced by reducing the pressure in the air filling of
the storage tank.
