Questions and answers
My taps flash red. I replaced the battery but still not working
The SmarTap e-Valve may be flashing red after replacing the battery because the wrong type of battery was used. Only non-rechargeable 9V Lithium batteries are allowed. Rechargeable, alkaline, or carbon zinc batteries must not be used. Using an incorrect battery can cause the system to malfunction.
