Possible Causes

Broken lower distributor screen, Cracked riser tube, Over-backwashing at excessive flow, Damaged AquaHouse bottom basket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and place it in BYPASS. Relieve pressure before opening the resin tank. Resin beads are not toxic but can clog fixtures.

Step-by-step:

  • 1. Flush fixtures: Remove aerators and showerheads and flush out resin beads from household lines.
  • 2. Open resin tank: Remove the AquaHouse control head from the tank. Inspect the riser tube and bottom distributor/basket.
  • 3. Replace damaged parts: If the bottom basket or riser tube is cracked or missing, replace with the correct AquaHouse distributor assembly.
  • 4. Inspect resin level: Remove excess resin if the tank is overfilled above the recommended freeboard.
  • 5. Reassemble and flush: Reinstall the head, return to SERVICE, and flush the system thoroughly before returning to normal use.
