Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off water, place unit in bypass, and depressurize before opening the tank.
- Confirm resin presence: Check faucet aerators and strainers for small amber or yellow beads.
- Inspect tank internals: Remove the control head and look down the tank. If resin level is low or beads are floating freely, the bottom distributor may be broken.
- Remove resin: Siphon or vacuum out remaining resin into suitable containers.
- Replace distributor: Remove the central distributor tube and bottom basket. Install a new Aqmos-compatible distributor assembly.
- Refill resin: Refill with the correct type and quantity of resin, reassemble, and flush thoroughly before returning to service.
