What it means
The manual says: Building circuit water pressure low.
Part involved: Building circuit water pressure low.
Likely causes:
- Pressure loss in the building circuit due to leaks or air pockets; building circuit pressure sensor defective.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | No |
|---|---|
| Severity | Warning |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running.
Resetting itself: clears when condition resolved / engineer resets.
Manual reset: engineer resets (Installer level > Reset > Reset maintenance message).
What you can check
- Note the full code and text shown on the display (and the date/time it appeared). Read the heating system pressure on the display (Menu > Live Monitor > building circuit pressure) or the pressure gauge: it should be about 1.0-1.5 bar when cold. Vaillant's operating instructions say to inform your competent person so that they can top up the heating water. Check the filling loop valves are closed and look for visible water leaks or a dripping pressure-relief pipe.
What the engineer will check
- Check the building circuit for leaks; top up heating water and purge; check sensor plug/harness and pressure sensor, replace if required.
Who to ask for: Vaillant-trained heat pump installer/engineer (MCS-certified installer).
Certification: MCS installer certification; Vaillant product training recommended.
