A sensor at the bottom of the water purifier senses water leaks. If there is a leak, the feed water
supply is stopped. The water purifier cannot be started again until the leak has been repaired.
Low pressure protection
If Spirit stops because of low pressure, the cause of the low
pressure must be removed. If not, Spirit can be permanently
damaged.
