How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the control panel.

  • Check for backup battery: Some Waterguy models have a replaceable battery on the control board. Replace with the specified type if low or missing.
  • Use surge-protected power: Plug the unit into a surge protector or small UPS to maintain power during short outages.
  • Board replacement: If settings are lost after even brief outages, the control board's memory circuit may be failing and should be replaced.
