H10: complaints database analysis revealed no similar event since unit installation in 2018.Based on the data collected and the result of investigation of similar complaints, the most likely root cause of the reported event can be traced back to the setting of the "ramp down" mode which, following an alarm condition, caused the pump speed to be automatically and as per design reduced to minimal.In this mode, the pump continues to run at the selected minimum speed, until the speed is increased.
