Weil-McLain AquaBalance F20 — Water Pressure in the CH Installation is Near the Low Level
F20
Water pressure in the CH installation is near the low level. The water pressure measured by the sensor is above the low level but below nominal, and this warning does not switch off the heat request. The table classifies it as Soft Lock-out – Automatic Reset.
Applies to
This low-water or pressure protection code is displayed by the AquaBalance control (A##/F## fault codes) on AquaBalance Series 2 models (AB-80, AB-120, AB-155 and combi AB-80C, AB-120C, AB-155C), as documented in AquaBalance Series 2 Boiler Manual, doc 550-100-325/0924 (fault code tables 3 and 4) (550-100-325/0924). Codes can differ between controller generations, so always check the manual that matches your unit.

Why a code is not a diagnosis
A water-pressure or low-water code can mean a genuine leak or empty system, a failed expansion tank, a faulty fill valve, or a sensor problem. The appliance does not distinguish these.
Safe things to observe
- Read the pressure gauge and compare it with the normal cold-system pressure your installer set.
- Look for drips or wet spots near the appliance, pipes and the relief-valve discharge.
Do not
- Do not keep re-pressurizing a system that keeps losing water.
- Do not cap a relief-valve discharge pipe.
How professional service helps
- A technician finds and repairs the leak, checks the expansion tank and fill assembly, and verifies the sensor circuit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I clear this code myself?
Clearing a code without fixing its cause usually just brings it back. Note the code, check the safe items on this page, then call a licensed technician. If your appliance manual describes a user reset for this exact code and it stays away, no call may be needed.
