FAULT FINDING
CAUTION:
This section provides general details for diagnosing possible faults that may occur
during normal operation. Some of the remedial actions can only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Do not attempt to carry out any action if it involves inspecting / replacing an
electrical / mechanical component without first contacting AmeriWater for advice. Please be
aware that the unit / system may still be under pressure and contain water at scalding
temperature under certain fault conditions. When investigating any alarm, take appropriate
precautions to prevent possible injury. NEVER attempt to dismantle the unit under these
conditions. Always contact AmeriWater for advice.
