    Why is the return higher than supply on my PEERLESS PureFire PF-210 Boiler?
    • T
      Timothy LeeSep 1, 2025
      If you see 'RETURN HIGHER THAN SUPPLY' on your PEERLESS Boiler, check the system piping to ensure water enters the return connection and exits the supply connection correctly. Also, compare the supply thermistor reading to the temperature gauge; if they don’t match, replace the supply thermistor.
