1. Unit is dispensing water intermittently / irregularly 2. Run‐On 3. Low Flow of Water 1. Unit is dispensing water intermittently / irregularly Possible Reason Solution Verify ribbon connectors are properly engaged and fully seated in Ribbon Connectors are not front PCB (Printed Circuit Board) to avoid intermittent / fully engaged connectivity issues anytime the front Hatch Panel is accessed. Too much water pressure. The correct input water pressure is critical to the performance of Recommend 40‐60 psi for the the unit to allow solenoids to open. WL500 Water Treatment System to operate properly. Check water pressure at the inlet bulkhead with a water pressure gauge. Additional method of verification is to turn off water to unit and press the dispense button. Does the solenoid open without water pressure to the unit? Listen for solenoid to activate (not just the dispense button “click”) Adjust water pressure to 40‐60 psi. WL500 Manual Page 81 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...

32 20 92 1.956217 2 Pressure measured at inlet line to unit. Static with unit closed. Dynamic with unit dispensing cold‐ water. No Filters were installed in unit. 3. Low Flow of Water – Rated Service Flow is 1.89 Liters (0.5 gallons) per Minute Possible Reason Solution Rated Flow Rate is 1.89 Liters (0.5 gallons) per minute. Check flow Determine Flow of rate by dispensing into a container to measure for one minute and Water measure the amount of water that was dispensed. Feed lines can restrict flow if run long distances from the supply. It Feed Lines too small may be necessary to increase the supply line (e.g., use 3/8” feed line vs. ¼”. Elbows and turns in Minimize elbows and turns in the feed line. the feed line Filters with high pressure drop due to fouling or just by design. Filters Change filters more frequently or go to higher micron size filter for local water conditions. Follow flow path to ensure there are no undiscovered restrictions due Restrictions to debris or malfunctioning valves, including the supply valve at the source. Add a booster pump to the supply line if the feed is slower than Booster Pump needed. WL500 Manual Page 82 Revision 4‐10‐2019 ...
