Troubleshooting Guide
What should I do if my system won’t run?
• Make sure system is plugged into a power source.
• Ensure dispenser or pitcher is fully attached to ltration dock — remove and replace.
• Make sure dispenser or pitcher contains water. System will not run without water.
• Dry any excess water that may be on the base of the dock.
• Be sure lid is attached to the dispenser or pitcher. System will not run without lid.
• Dispenser will only lter and serve water when button is held down.
What if water is leaking from bottom of dispenser when on the base?
• Ensure the dispenser or pitcher is fully attached to ltration dock — remove it and
replace on dock.
What should I do if my system is leaking under the top cover?
• Remove top cover from ltration dock.
(Refer to “Install the Filter” section on how to remove the cover.)
• Ensure black rubber O-ring is in place on the bottom connection point of the lid.
• Ensure cartridge is installed correctly.
My water is cloudy.
• Cloudy water is just microscopic air bubbles, and should dissipate within a few
minutes of lling outer reservoir.
• If cartridge was ushed and you continue to see cloudiness, this is normal for the rst
few days of use on new cartridge installations.
The circular valve at the base of the dock leaks.
• Ensure that dispenser or pitcher is inserted squarely on top of circular valve to avoid
depressing the valve plunger that releases water.
• Small amounts of water on the base will not disrupt the lter system.
Why is my system running on and off?
• The pump in the system will shut down at 60 to 75 psi. This will more than likely
happen when the lter in the system is clogged. Depending on your water quality, the
lter in your system might need to be changed more frequently.
