A.3 Filters are blocked by debris
B. Unable to achieve required flow
B.1 Too much pressure drop at fixture
B.2 Checks valve/filters blocked by debris
C. Valve does not maintain required temperature or temperature
changes over time
C.1 Fluctuation in supply pressures
C.2 Check valve/filters blocked by debris
C.3 Recirculation loop not piped properly
D. Discharge temperature too hot or cold
D.1 Valve not calibrated properly
E. Hot water from cold water tap or cold from hot
E.1 Check valves fouled
F. Valve is noisy
