ERROR MESSAGE: WATER INTAKE ISSUE

A. 

TOO MUCH WATER:

CAUSE: 

Light Guide needs cleaning.

 Follow Light Guide cleaning instructions on 

page 20. 

CAUSE: 

CatGenie is not level. 

 Adjust position and level it. Make sure it is on a flat 

surface.

CAUSE:

 

Lime particles block water flow into Hopper.

 Follow directions on page 

19 to clean your CatGenie.

B. 

NOT ENOUGH WATER:

 

CAUSE: 

Drain Hose positioning.

 If wet Washable Granules are in Bowl but there 

is no standing Water, your Drain Hose may need to be adjusted. Add a bump or arc 

to the Drain Hose to prevent CatGenie from losing water as it’s trying to retain water. 

CAUSE: 

Water pressure is low.

 Make sure your shower, dishwasher, washing 

machine etc. is not running at the same time as the CatGenie.This will create low 

water pressure and the CatGenie will have trouble filling. Also check that your Valve 

is fully open to provide full water pressure to your CatGenie.

CAUSE: 

Mesh Water Intake Hose filter is clogged.

 Unplug the unit or remove 

the processing unit to disconnect power. Turn off water supply valve. Unscrew the 

Water Intake Hose from the back of the Processing Unit. There may be clean water 

in the hose. Remove mesh filter and clean. Replace filter and screw hose back onto 

Processing Unit. Turn water supply valve back on. Plug in unit again. 

C.

 

NO WATER: 

Do NOT unplug electric or remove the Processing Unit. 

CAUSE: 

The water supply valve from laundry or bathroom line is turned off.

 

Turn cold water supply line valve all the way on.

CAUSE: 

Water Hose is either not connected to home’s water supply or to back 

of Processing Unit. 

Connect Water Hose to cold-water line or Processing Unit.

CAUSE: 

CatGenie Water Intake Hose is bent or crimped.

 Loosen coil, un-crimp 

Water Intake Hose.

       

Add a bump or arc 

 

to the Drain Hose.

CatGenie Water Intake 

Hose is bent or crimped.

Clean the Mesh Water 

Intake Hose Filter.

ALL WATER INTAKE ISSUES: 

Once the error has cleared, access the Testing Menu to run a finishing cycle.

ERROR MESSAGE: DRAINAGE ISSUE

CAUTION:

 

Before attempting to fix, feel whether the Washable 

Granules are WET, DAMP or DRY. If they are DRY, follow A. If they 

are WET OR DAMP, follow B.

A.

 Light Guide is dirty. Remove the Processing Unit and 

pull the Light Guide from the top of the Hopper. Clean with a soft 

cloth and replace. See page 20 for complete instructions.

B.

 GRANULES ARE WET or DAMP. Water has not drained. 

CAUSE:

 CatGenie cannot drain due to obstruction or 

incorrect plumbing set up.

 Follow 

How to Clear a Drainage 

Obstruction 

on page 24. If that does not clear the issue, then go 

to page 19 

Taking Apart and Cleaning your CatGenie

 to clean out 

the Hopper.

This is WRONG. 

Sharp bends put stress 

on the Hose.

Drain Hose should go 

into drain no more than 

3.5 ft above floor.

Pull the 

light Guide 

from the 

top of the 

Hopper.
