shift the air pockets. You can also tap on the 4-way shut off
valve (the cube shape fitting on the back) to try and clear the
air pocket. If this fails, turn the water off, bleed out the
pressure then turn the incoming water back on to try and clear
it.
2. If it is not an air lock, there may be something wrong with
the shut off valve. These parts are warranted for 2 years from
date of purchase. Outside this time, it is recommended to
replace them.
3. Ensure that you have allowed the system enough time to
replenish the tank. Check with other household members to
see if someone recently drew water from the unit.
4. Low pressure can cause the water to continuously run to
waste without producing filtered water. Ensure your feed water
pressure is > 25psi. Your pre-filters may also be blocked.
Additional Extras
I. Water Hammer Arrester
Sioux Chief shock arresters are designed for use in hydraulic hammer arresting
applications. They are built to reduce or eliminate hydraulic shock, otherwise known as
water hammer. They do this by absorbing pressure surges within water or other fluids
that are suddenly stopped or forced in other directions by fast closing valves. Sioux
Chief shock arresters are best used at the point of shock and should be installed as
close to the valve or piping where the shock originates from. Sioux Chief shock
arresters are designed with the latest diaphragm technology. A high-grade diaphragm
is sealed inside the vessel creating a barrier between fluid and air chambers. The air
chamber acts as a cushion which compresses when system pressure suddenly
increases or surges as a result of hydraulic shock.
The water hammer arrestor is installed either at your washing machine or your
dishwasher inlet.
II. Leak Shut Off Kit
Highly absorbent capsule sits in place under the shut off lever (like a reverse
mouse trap).
It quickly absorbs water causing the capsule to expand in an upward
direction putting pressure on the shut off valve. When sufficient water has
been absorbed, the lever will snap shut, stopping the inlet water flow and
saving any possible water damage. (Plastic outer cover needs to be
REMOVED).
The Shut off valve should be connected between the FWV and the Filter
System inlet.
This system is certified to WaterMark Standards AS/NZS 3497 Under Certificate number 23247.
WaterMark certification is the level of certification required by law for a qualified plumber in
Australia to install a water filter system.
