PulsaCoil No Hot Water
Is your PulsaCoil system not providing hot water? This common issue can be frustrating, especially when you rely on your PulsaCoil system for daily comfort. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most common causes of no hot water in your PulsaCoil system and offer practical solutions to get your hot water flowing again.
PulsaCoil No Hot Water – Fix The PulsaCoil Yourself
Why Is My Pulsacoil Not Heating Water?
There are several reasons why your Pulsacoil unit might not be providing hot water. Some of the most common issues include:
Faulty Immersion Heater: The immersion heater within the PulsaCoil might be malfunctioning or burnt out, leading to a lack of hot water.
Thermostat Problems: Issues with the thermostat, such as being set too low or malfunctioning, can prevent the PulsaCoil from heating the water to the desired temperature.
Limescale Buildup: Over-time, limescale can accumulate within the system, affecting its efficiency and ability to heat water.
Airlocks: Airlocks within the system can block the flow of hot water, leading to a lack of hot water at the taps.
Faulty Pump: If the pump responsible for circulating water through the PulsaCoil is faulty or not functioning correctly, it can hinder the distribution of hot water.
System Pressure: Low system pressure can impact the circulation of water through the system, resulting in inadequate heating.
Electrical Issues: Problems with the electrical supply or wiring can prevent the PulsaCoil from functioning properly.
Component Wear and Tear: Components within the PulsaCoil, such as valves or seals, may wear out over time, leading to issues with heating hot water.
Insufficient water: Insufficient water in the thermal store can often result from either evaporation or leaks within the internal thermal cylinder or immersion heater.
When the thermostat sensor malfunctions or a relay remains stuck open, it can lead to a condition known as “kettling”.
This causes the system to generate steam and thereby accelerate internal water evaporation within the cylinder. This ultimately leads to a shortage of hot water at the tap outlets. You can independently gauge your hot water levels by referring to our DIY video tutorial.
Failure of the external economy-seven time clock: This can prevent the ‘off-peak’ immersion from heating overnight, leaving the internal cylinder cold.
How to Troubleshoot Pulsacoil No Hot Water Issues
1. Check the Thermostat
- Ensure that the thermostat is set to the correct temperature.
- If the thermostat appears faulty, consider replacing it.
2. Inspect the Immersion Heater
- Turn off the power to the unit and check the immersion heater for any visible signs of damage.
- If the heater is faulty, it may need to be replaced by a qualified technician.
3. Verify Water Pressure
- Check the pressure gauge on your Pulsacoil unit. If it’s too low, you may need to top up the water.
- Look for any leaks in the system that could be causing pressure loss.
4. Assess the Pump
- Listen for any unusual noises from the pump, which could indicate a problem.
- If the pump isn’t working, it might need cleaning or replacing.
5. Electrical Supply Check
- Ensure that your Pulsacoil unit is receiving power.
- Check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary.
- If the issue persists, contact an electrician to inspect the wiring.
When to Call a Professional
While some Pulsacoil issues can be resolved with a bit of DIY, others require professional attention. If you’ve tried the above steps and still don’t have hot water, it might be time to call in a professional.
