Floë does
not stop.
Malfunction
or air leaking
from one
of the
connections.
All air line pipes need to be rounded off with thumb and forefinger, ends wet and inserted straight
into push-fit connectors. This gives it the best air tight seal possible. Should Floë not stop at
15 psi, it is most likely because there is a tiny air leak somewhere preventing it from reaching
this pressure. Therefore, start testing at Floë and work toward the main water tee continuously
testing along the way.
First, remove the connector from under Floë and press thumb tightly over the end of the short
stump of air line to make a good seal. This is the only way to determine if Floë is functioning
properly; it should stop after one second with a tight seal. If Floë does not stop, contact customer
service. If Floë stops, the unit is fine, so wet the end of air line and reinsert into connector. Move
to the end of the air line, where it enters the main water valve tee and remove air line from tee.
Hold thumb over end of air line and switch Floë on. If Floë stops, the joints are good leading
back to Floë. If not, then the leak is with one of the connectors before and leading back to Floë,
so remove, check, wet and re-insert each connection, testing each time until Floë does stop,
To test the main water tee, remove the water line barbed connector from the short end of the
tee leading toward the faucets, NOT the long end to the water tank. Insert little finger into tee to
make an air-tight seal. This will test that all joints are secure, while making sure that air is not
escaping from the tee. If Floë stops, then move on. If Floë does not stop, recheck and tighten
both barbed connectors, wet and reseat connectors into tee. Note that this is the only connector
that will seal by inserting finger. The rest of the time, only test the ends of the air line. Leaks can
also be determined by spraying soapy water on the joints and watching for bubbles.

Small air
leak.
If all connections up to and including the water valve tee are fine yet Floë does not stop, then
the problem is likely to be in the vehicle or vessel. So switch off Floë and make sure all faucets,
outlets and dump valves for the water heater and city water connections are closed. Also, make
sure the water heater has been bypassed. While Floë is running, listen for escaping air from
all faucets, toilets and hot water tank and all dump valves. Make sure the system is set to draw
water from the onboard water tank and not from the city water inlet. Try switching Floë on again
and, if it stops, the system is pressurized. If not, call customer service.
