Your boiler is simply showing that it is currently preparing or providing hot water to your taps or cylinder.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Hot water flow temperature reading
What causes this fault?
This occurs when the boiler sensors detect that there is a demand for hot water, either for your taps or to heat your water cylinder. It is a normal status message indicating the internal components are currently measuring the temperature of the water being sent to your house. It is not a sign of a breakdown, but rather the boiler confirming it is doing its job.
DIY fix possible
