What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler’s internal sensors detect that a hot water tap or shower has been turned on somewhere in your home. It isn't a fault, but rather a status message confirming the boiler is successfully diverting energy to heat your water. If you see this when no taps are running, it could indicate a dripping tap or a minor internal sensor issue.

DIY fix possible
