Boiler Low Water Alarm in River Club
The low water cut-out trips and stops the boiler even when the tank has water. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on steam systems in River Club.
This fault is normally treated as same-day work because the site has effectively lost hot water, steam or safe operation.
River Club is a high-value residential pocket of Sandton, typically with multiple geysers or a heat pump on buffer storage, and in many cases pool or underfloor heating on the same plantroom. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
