I just bought a booster pump for 2 mth, today the greenlight on but the redlight heater was not on.

There is no water pumping or heating from heater.
just plain lower pressure water coming out very little what happened?

Send for warranty. Don't be a stupid hero trying to do something stupid.
Unless you want your name to come out in the headlines next day.

Not really, when got water flow it will switch on even low pressure. Unless is droplet or "pee" flow.

Possible your elcb didn't detect earth and it disable for safety. Or some more press the elcb reset?

If wiring problem, it will directly trip and no lights at all.
Got lights means it is working are something failed inside. If water flow ok then it will be more serious issues.
So, asking the installer to check will be the safest way.
Changing a fuse in the main board I dare to do, changing plug's wiring piece of cake. Changing the ceiling fan also no problem.
But not instant water heater.

It happened to mine as well 1 month ago for exact same model. I called for warranty claim and they sent technician and replace the board for me within 1 week.

I just had Joven service repair done on the Model 880P due to no power or function . Service person replaced the power board EELS- 3D Rev 2. This is my first and last use of Joven Instant water heaters because of this failure. I checked bad board fuse and most components are good. If anyone has the circuitry, i would like to determine the root cause of failure.
All other instant water heaters in my home still good after 25 years, but im curious why this Joven model failed so fast

I found the transistor BC546B faulty and replaced. It is working good now. Hopefully it is reliable. My experience says Joven is not reliable compared to Panasonic based on my experience.

That's the magnet located inside the pipe just after the water valve in the Joven heater

It activates a reed switch on the circuit board to switch on the water pump/heater..

If there is low pressure or as the magnet ages it loses its ability to magnetise (activate) the reed switch which in turn won't switch on the Joven built in water pump/heater..

that magnet has to be replaced and it'll work as normal..

It's a common fault..
