Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling

Check that the mains water supply is on and that the inlet valve is open. Ensure the ballvalve is correctly positioned and not obstructed.

Water level is not shutting off

Inspect the ballvalve and float. Ensure the float is correctly attached and moving freely. Check for any debris on the valve seat that might prevent a proper seal.

Leak detected from fittings

Carefully tighten the relevant compression fitting or valve. If the leak persists, check the seals and consider replacing the faulty component. Ensure correct use of PTFE tape or sealant if applicable.

Water temperature is too low/high

Verify that the tank is not located near a heat source or in an area exposed to extreme cold. Ensure the insulation is intact and properly fitted.
