How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before internal cleaning.

Steps to improve clarity:

  • 1. Improve filtration: Install or replace a high-quality water filter designed to reduce minerals and particulates.
  • 2. Run cleaning cycle: Descale the evaporator and water circuit using approved cleaner.
  • 3. Verify purge operation: Ensure the unit is completing its purge/rinse cycles. If not, a technician may need to inspect the control and valves.
  • 4. Acceptable variation: Some cloudiness is normal with hard water; focus on taste and odor as primary quality indicators.
