01 08 Low water pressure lockout (water pressure switch)
What the control is telling you
The water pressure switch trips at 8 psi to protect the boiler. When pressure drops too low, the boiler shows Error 108. Once pressure is restored the error clears and the boiler goes back into the 7-minute purge cycle.
Applies to: TRX150 and related TRX models
Likely causes
- Boiler water pressure has dropped below the 8 psi switch setting, often while air is being purged from the system
Test and repair steps
- Bring system pressure back up to at least 12 psi on the pressure gauge.
- Let the boiler complete the 7-minute purge cycle again.
- Check the system for leaks if the pressure keeps falling.
