2. Reset unit by turning power Off and On 3. Automatic reset if the water level drops below the sensor Designed redundancy: In case there is a serious blockage of the media before the alarm reacts, the designed first point of failure is the uptake spool plastic hex. The hex will snap and allow the powerful motor to move freely till the alarm sets.
Page 20: Unit Assembly
