F.022Building circuit: Water pressure too low
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Building circuit: Water pressure too low
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The water pressure in the heating (building) circuit is too low. The manual names pressure loss caused by leaks or air pockets, or a defective pressure sensor. Topping up the water and purging the system are part of the manual's fix.
When to call a service technician: If you are not sure how to top up the system, or the pressure keeps dropping (possible leak), contact a heating engineer.
