Quick answer

Domusa E09 is the Avanttia NG alarm for a water circulation failure. Note the code and the pressure on the display, press RESET once only and, if the code comes back, stop and call the official Domusa SAT.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • If you smell gas, open doors and windows, shut the main gas valve only if it is safe to reach, touch no switches, light no flames, leave the home and phone your gas distributor's emergency line or 112.
  • Press RESET once at most. If E09 comes back, leave the boiler off and call the SAT instead of restarting it several times.
  • Never remove the casing or try to reach any sealed component inside the boiler: Domusa limits servicing to its authorised staff.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Read the code and the pressure on the display
  • Press RESET once
  • The SAT checks pressure, valves and venting

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Circulation diagnosis by the official SAT
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Air purge and pressure top-up

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Circulation diagnosis by the official SAT

    What they doAn authorised Domusa technician finds out why water is not flowing as it should: pressure, valves, air and pump, in that order.

    They must show youthe pressure they read, the state of the flow and return valves and the boiler error history.

    In writingthe E09 code, the cause found and the part or setting that was touched.

  2. Air purge and pressure top-up

    What they doIf there is air or too little water, the technician runs the boiler purge function and refills the circuit with the filling valve to a suitable pressure.

    They must show youthe pressure before and after the purge.

    In writingthe final pressure and whether E09 came back during testing.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Read the code and the pressure on the display

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, no tools.
    How:
    Look at the screen without opening anything: see whether E09 flashes with the error symbol and what the digital pressure gauge shows.
    Result that matters:
    Below 0.5 bar the boiler raises E02 rather than E09, so that reading tells the two cases apart.
    If you see E02 or a clearly low pressure, write it down and tell the SAT; do not drain or top up the circuit yourself.
    If the pressure looks normal and only E09 shows, go on to the single RESET in the next step.
    Evidence to keep:
    a photo of the display showing the code and the pressure value.

  2. Press RESET once

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, no tools.
    How:
    Press the RESET button on the panel one time, as the alarm table says, and wait to see whether the boiler starts.
    Result that matters:
    What matters is whether E09 clears and the boiler heats normally again.
    If the code stays away and you have heating, note the date and time in case it repeats.
    If E09 returns, do not press RESET again:
    leave the boiler as it is and call the official Domusa SAT.
    Evidence to keep:
    date, time and how many times the code has appeared.

    Evidence: Domusa Teknik Avanttia NG operation user guide (CDOC001980)

  3. The SAT checks pressure, valves and venting

    No special tools

    Who:
    official Domusa SAT or an authorised installer.
    How:
    Confirms the pressure sits between 1 and 1.5 bar, that the flow and return valves are open and that no air is left; can read the last 10 errors in the Info Menu.
    Result that matters:
    A pressure or valve cause is fixed on the spot; if all is in order, the fault points to the pump or the control.
    If pressure or a valve explains it, it is corrected and the boiler is watched to make sure E09 does not return.
    If the circuit is correct and E09 persists, the technician goes on to the pump, its wiring and the electronic control.
    Evidence to keep:
    the error history list, the measured pressure and the state of the valves.

What it means

In the Avanttia NG alarm table, E09 is listed as water circulation failure and the boiler flashes it after its continuous self-test. Domusa says to press RESET and contact the SAT if the error persists. The code alone does not prove that the pump, a valve or a sensor is faulty: it only says water is not circulating as expected, and an authorised technician has to find the reason. The installation manual used here is in Spanish.

Warnings and stop conditions

  • Higheditorial warning

    If you smell gas, open doors and windows, shut the main gas valve only if it is safe to reach, touch no switches, light no flames, leave the home and phone your gas distributor's emergency line or 112.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Water pressure too lowPossible

    The English guide describes a lock-out below 0.5 bar in which the burner and the circulation pump stop. A leak or maintenance work can lead to it.

    Evidence: Domusa Teknik Avanttia NG operation user guide (CDOC001980)

  • Flow or return valves shutPossible

    At commissioning the installation manual (Spanish) asks the installer to confirm that any flow and return valves are open. A closed valve would block water through the circuit.

    Evidence: Domusa Teknik Avanttia NG, instrucciones de instalación y funcionamiento (CDOC001924)

  • Air in the heating circuit weakens circulationPossible

    The boiler has an air purge function that runs the pump and the 3-way valve to clear air from the system. Trapped air can leave the circulation too weak.

    Evidence: Domusa Teknik Avanttia NG operation user guide (CDOC001980)

  • Pump, its wiring or the electronic controlLess common

    The table does not separate a stopped pump from its wiring or from the electronics. Only the SAT can test that, and you should never open the boiler to try.
