very low external water pressure (at or below 40 psi) or a very low water flow rate (below
1 gallon/minute) of your water line might significantly reduce or hamper the performance
of your DWM-20A and its ability to dispense fresh sparkling water. If the water pressure is
low, please use the booster pump as indicated in the Parts Manual (order separately).
8. When the Fltraon System indicator (green light – top right) starts blinking (on/off) it
means that the HS-5441 filters and the HS-5442 Alkaline Chamber you are using have

deterioraon of your drinking water and clogging of the system. It is recommended to
replace the HS-5441 filters and the HS-5442 Alkaline Chamber as soon as possible when
the green light indicator starts blinking or every 6 months, whichever comes first.
