Turn off Water Supply and Bleed Water Pressure 3. Isolate the WL3 FX Water Treatment System from feed water by turning off the supply. 4. Dispense cold still water to relieve any pressure built up in the system.
Switch (O=OFF), and dispense 2 liters of hot water from the machine. As hot water is dispensed from the faucet of the WL3 FX Water Treatment System, colder water will be introduced into the hot tank. Since the Red Heater and Compressor Power Switch is turned off, the heater will not energize and heat the incoming tap water.
WARNING! USE ONLY Waterlogic SUPPLIED POWER CORD. Locate system within 5 feet of power supply. Never use an extension cord or adapter. Do not use a damaged power cord or plug. Keep power cord out of heavy traffic areas and away from heat sources. Do not, under any circumstances, remove ground prong or alter the power cord.
Page 58
Pre-installation and sanitization procedures as prescribed in this manual must be performed before installing the WL3 FX Water Treatment System. Always install indoors and place the Waterlogic WL3 FX Water Treatment System on a firm, flat and stable surface. 1. Attach the water supply line to the 1/4” feed water inlet bulkhead fitting on the back of the WL3 FX Water Treatment System.

ON. If no buttons are pressed on the front panel for 3 hours, the WL3 FX will enter sleep mode, and power to the heater will be shut down. The cold water (compressor) will remain active/on 24/7.
To DISABLE the energy saver, DIP #2 must be switched from ON to OFF (Down position), as per the legend printed on the board. This will enable the hot tank to cycle continuously. All units come with Sleep Mode enabled. WL3 FX Manual Page 61 - Revision: 7-27-2022...
RESETTING THE FILTER TIMER If the WL3 FX Water Treatment System has the Filter Timer dipswitches set to 3, 6, or 12 months, and the selected period has passed, the Filtration LED will begin blinking. This warning indicates that the filters need to be changed, and will continue until the timer has been reset, OR the Filter Timer has been set to “NONE.”...
HOT TANK OVERHEAT (ROR PROTOCOL TRIGGERED) The WL3 FX Water Treatment System has an ROR (Rate of Rise) protocol in the programming that will disable the hot tank and give audible and visual alarms if the temperature in the Hot Tank rises too rapidly, which usually indicates dry heating.
RESETTING THE HOT TANK OVERLOAD The WL3 FX Water Treatment System has a Hot Tank equipped with a High Limit or Overload Thermostat. This is to prevent damage to the unit if the temperature in the Hot Tank gets too high. If the temp does get out of control, this Overload Thermostat will break the electric connection, cutting power from the heating element.
