[C320-list] Intermittent fresh water flow

[Charles Martin]

Might be that the pump was filling the hot water tank.  Had it been emptied
before this?  This has happened to me after refilling the tanks during
spring commissioning if I don't ensure the hot water tank fills during the
tank fill process.

Best,
