Questions and Answers

    Mr. Kyle LozanoAug 13, 2025
    Why is the water temperature too low on my Aqualisa Plumbing Product?
    • J
      Johnny LopezAug 13, 2025
      If the Aqualisa Plumbing Product temperature is too low, it may be caused by a low hot water temperature or the logic module temperature setting being too low. Ensure that your domestic hot water temperature is a minimum of 55ºC for stored water and 50ºC for combination boilers. For further assistance, refer to the Controller Commissioning Instructions.

    Why is the temperature unstable on my Aqualisa SMART?
    • J
      Jennifer MortonAug 17, 2025
      If the Aqualisa Plumbing Product temperature is too low and the controller temperature ready display doesn't stabilize, it indicates mixed or unbalanced water supplies, or the combination boiler can't meet the demand. Ensure water supplies come from the same source (not gravity hot and mains cold). For mains-fed systems, balance the cold and hot feeds as evenly as possible, especially for HP unvented systems. Check the hot water temperature is stable at another high-flowing outlet, and run a cold outlet at 1/3 of its maximum flow rate.

    How to fix flow switching issues on my Aqualisa Plumbing Product?
    • M
      Michael TylerAug 21, 2025
      If the flow will not switch between outlets on your Aqualisa Plumbing Product, it could be a communications issue or the outlets are not configured (for models with a display screen only). Check that the 2m patch lead is connected between the Aqualisa SmartValveTM and diverter and that the correct 2m patch lead is connected. Turn off the power to the Aqualisa SmartValveTM for at least 2 minutes, then reinstate the power. Following the instructions in the User Guide (Settings Menu), complete a factory reset, and then configure the outlets.

      Kari HicksAug 26, 2025
      If the controller is unresponsive with no lights, it's possible the power supply to the Aqualisa SmartValveTM is off. Check that the power supply is turned on and that the green power light is illuminated on the Aqualisa SmartValveTM.

    Why does my Aqualisa SMART controller stay on after I turn the shower off?
    • K
      Kenneth MirandaAug 29, 2025
      If the Aqualisa Plumbing Product controller remains illuminated after switching the shower off, it could be due to a poor cable connection or an object activating the Auto Wake-up feature. Check that the data cable connections are making good contact and are fully inserted, including wired remote connections. Consult the user guide to see if your model has the Auto Wake-up feature and how to disable it in the settings menu.

    What to do if my Aqualisa SMART Plumbing Product displays 'Preparing, please wait…' for too long?
    • M
      Meredith FieldsSep 1, 2025
      If your Aqualisa Plumbing Product controller displays 'Preparing, please wait…' for longer than 2 minutes, there may be a loss of communication. Check that the data cable connections are making good contact and are fully inserted. Also, verify that the wiring schematics match the installation instructions.

    Why is my Aqualisa Plumbing Product pump noisy with low flow?
    • T
      Travis MasonSep 5, 2025
      If the pump is noisy and there is low or no flow in your Aqualisa Plumbing Product (for gravity-fed systems only), it could be due to an air lock or a restriction in the waterway. You may need to set the controller to a cooler temperature until the hot water starts to flow, then gradually increase the temperature. If the product uses an Aqualisa diverter, ensure it is removed from the plumbing configuration but remains connected to the Aqualisa SmartvalveTM via the 2m data cable. Check for debris in the inlet filters of the Aqualisa SmartValveTM.

    Why are the LEDs flashing on my Aqualisa Plumbing Product?
    • A
      Andrew MaynardSep 8, 2025
      When the Controller LED’s are flashing and changing colour when power turned on to the Aqualisa SmartValveTM, no action is required. This sequence and configuration can last up to 2 minutes. Wait until LED’s go out and then the controller is ready to use.
