Not every fault is a fault. Sometimes it's just dirt in the right place.
Heat pump kept locking out. Fault pointing at low flow, owner braced for bad news.
Pulled the strainer out and there it is. Flux, bits of solder, swarf off the pipe cuts, all sat in the mesh choking the flow.
That's normal on a new install. Cutting and jointing pipework makes debris, it washes through, and the strainer catches it. That's exactly what it's for.
Nobody's done anything wrong.
What matters is somebody actually checking it.
Cleaned out, back in, system running properly again. No parts, no drama.
If your heat pump keeps stopping and you've been told it needs something expensive, message me before you spend anything.
