Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Sensorflow faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow when hands are detected | Low battery; obstructed sensor; water supply off; solenoid valve issue. | Check for low battery alert and replace battery if necessary. Ensure sensor is clean and unobstructed. Verify water supply is on. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Sensor not detecting hands reliably | Sensor sensitivity; reflective surfaces; dirty sensor lens. | Clean the sensor lens. Ensure there are no highly reflective objects directly in front of the sensor. Refer to the full manual for sensor sensitivity adjustment if available. |
| Water is too cold or too hot | Temperature lever not adjusted correctly; hot/cold water supply issues. | Adjust the temperature mixing lever at the base of the faucet. Verify hot and cold water supplies are functioning correctly. |
| Faucet is dripping | Internal valve seal wear or damage. | This typically requires professional service. The valve seal (often beige with a filter) connected to the solenoid valve may need inspection or replacement. |
| Flashing light indicator | Low battery. | Replace the 6V lithium battery. |
