Turbine operation (43) - Other water sources are flowing through the stopped pump

Grundfos · ALPHA3 Pump

What does 43 mean?

The pump is detecting water flow through it even when it is switched off and stopped. This indicates that other pumps or system sources are causing unwanted circulation through the unit.

Common Causes

  • Defective or incorrectly positioned non-return valves in the system.
  • Backflow from other parts of the heating or circulation system.
