What is essential to do upon receiving a low water alarm?

Adjust the thermostat immediately
Investigate and address the cause
Delay action for scheduled maintenance
Calibrate the pressure gauge

The correct answer is: Investigate and address the cause

Upon receiving a low water alarm, it is critical to investigate and address the cause of the alarm as it indicates a potentially hazardous situation. Low water levels in a boiler can lead to overheating, insufficient cooling of the heating surfaces, and ultimately, severe damage to the boiler or even an explosion. Taking immediate action to understand why the alarm has triggered could involve checking the water supply, ensuring that there are no leaks or blockages, and confirming that the water level sensor is functioning correctly. This proactive approach is vital for safety and helps maintain proper boiler operation. Adjusting the thermostat, delaying action, or calibrating the pressure gauge does not directly tackle the immediate concern raised by a low water alarm, which requires prompt and informed attention to prevent any accidents or equipment failure.
