Triangle Tube Low Water Pressure: Low Water Pressure
What the Triangle Tube Low Water Pressure fault means, what causes it, and why it's a job for a licensed BC gas technician — not a DIY reset.
Severity
High — needs prompt professional attention
What the Triangle Tube Low Water Pressure fault means
System water pressure dropped below the safe threshold, so the control held or locked out the boiler.
On Triangle Tube Prestige Solo and Prestige Excellence stainless condensing boilers, Low Water Pressure is a system water-pressure fault. It is a protective response — the boiler is telling you something needs attention, and the safe, lasting fix is a proper diagnosis rather than repeated resets.
Symptoms you may notice
- Pressure gauge reading low (or very high)
- No heat; boiler will not fire
- Needing to top up system pressure often
Common causes of Triangle Tube Low Water Pressure
Why this is not a DIY fix
Chronic pressure loss almost always means a leak, a water-logged expansion vessel, or a failed pressure-relief valve. Simply re-pressurising hides the real fault and can over-stress the system. A technician must locate the leak and recharge or replace the expansion tank correctly.
In British Columbia, gas work must be performed by a TSBC-licensed gas fitter. GasBoilers.ca — a CanroHeat division — sends Red Seal–certified, gas-licensed technicians who diagnose the true cause, repair it correctly, and verify safe operation before they leave.
