How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and water.

  • Clean sump and filters: Remove and clean all filters and the sump area to ensure proper water flow.
  • Inspect pressure hose: Access the underside and locate the small pressure hose running from the sump/air trap to the pressure sensor. Check for kinks, blockages, or disconnections.
  • Clear air trap: If accessible, remove the air trap and rinse out any grease or debris.
