How do you diagnose it?
Pressure switch calibration check; Burner modulation observation; Water TDS and alkalinity testing; PRV station inspection. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
