How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before working with water components.

Steps:

  • Inspect reservoir: Ensure the water level is adequate for the pump to prime.
  • Check pump inlet: Remove debris or scale from the pump intake screen.
  • Test pump: With power applied (only if qualified), check for voltage at the pump. If voltage is present but the pump does not run, replace the circulation pump.
