How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No immediate hazard, but always disconnect power before opening the control housing.

  • Review manual: Check the AFWFilters manual for the specific meaning of the SERVICE indicator on your model. Some units use it as a time-based reminder.
  • Check error history: If your control supports it, view the error log to see which faults triggered the service message (e.g., past flow or brine errors).
  • Perform basic maintenance: Top off salt, clean the brine tank, inspect the injector and drain line, and verify programming.
  • Clear reminder: Use the control menu to reset the service interval or clear the service message after maintenance.
  • Contact support: If the SERVICE message returns quickly or is accompanied by other error codes, consult AFWFilters technical support or a qualified technician.
