E26 on an Alpha Heating Innovation Alpha Hydro 5/8/12/16 R32 monobloc: System flowmeter anomaly: The board detects an anomaly on the system flowmeter; system does not start; booster pump (if any) always working
Short answer
On an Alpha Heating Innovation heat pump, E26 means: System flowmeter anomaly: The board detects an anomaly on the system flowmeter; system does not start; booster pump (if any) always working. The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: System flowmeter anomaly: The board detects an anomaly on the system flowmeter; system does not start; booster pump (if any) always working.
Part involved: flowmeter.
Likely causes:
- The board detects an anomaly on the system flowmeter; system does not start; booster pump (if any) always working.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
What you can check
- Note the code and any text shown on the display/controller.
- Check the heat pump isolator and consumer-unit breaker are on.
What the engineer will check
- Check flowmeter and wiring.
- Make sure the optional booster pump only activates when requested.
Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
