8 Troubleshooting
Fault
Filtered water cannot
be drawn
Low water flow
Aquastop in filter head
leaking when filter
cartridge is removed
Threaded connection
leaking
Water is milky/white
in colour
Heating element,
boiler in the appliance
furs up too quickly
Hygienic care when handling the Hydro Shield system should
therefore be a matter of course. Clean the outside of the
Hydro Shield system regularly with a damp cloth and work
cleanly when replacing the filter cartridge. Avoid using
corrosive chemicals and cleaning agents.
Daily
Regular check for breaks and pinch points. Broken hoses
must be replaced.
After 12 months at the latest (regardless of the residual
capacity); after a shutdown period of 4 weeks or more.
After 5 years
Cause
Water intake or other check
valves closed
Filter not fully screwed into
the filter head
Filter head fitted incorrectly
System pressure is too low
Foreign particles deposited
in Aquastop
Faulty seal
Process-related formation
of carbonic acid that escapesas
small white bubbles
Filter capacity exceeded,
filter too small.
Troubleshooting
Test check valves and open
if necessary
Unscrew filter by ½ rotation and reinsert as far
as it will go
Check flow direction (direction of
arrow on filter head) and reverse
if necessary
Check system pressure
Flush system with built-in filter
Check seal, replace if necessary
Cloudiness disappears after
approx. 5 min.
Check total hardness and filter capacity, fit
new filter cartridge if necessary
