Possible Causes

Stuck inlet valve, Blocked or disconnected pressure hose, Faulty pressure switch, Control board not closing valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately switch off power and close the water tap if overfilling occurs.

  • Check inlet valve: If water continues to enter with the power off, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck open and must be replaced.
  • Inspect pressure hose: Ensure the small hose from the sump to the pressure switch is connected and not blocked.
  • Test pressure switch: Verify that the switch changes state when pressure is applied. Replace if faulty.
  • Check control board: If the valve only overfills when powered, the control board may be driving it incorrectly and may require replacement.
