installed in horizontal position. And I am also not getting 'cold water' alerts, therefore assuming that all is good there.1800 RPM should be plenty to activate the flow switch in the SWCG. Out of curiosity, is your SWCG installed in a horizontal or a vertical orientation?
The other thing which could be happening, and this would be a long shot .... is the internal thermistor within the SWCG might be reporting the wrong water temp, and if it's reporting something way too low ... maybe the SWCG is turning off?
You can check what water temp the SWCG is detecting by following the procedure in this video:
it was just weird that I used to run at 45% to maintain, and 65% if I need to increase FC a little bit. But in the last few weeks, I ran at 100% and could hardly get the FC up. But all seems ok now (after also cleaning the filter). It has also been super hot...but I still think the SWCG should keep up.
OCLT will give all the answers I think. Hoping OCLT fails then at least I have an answer (and the solution to fix). But if my OCLT passes, then I will be stumped once again
