7. Troubleshooting

Low Water Flow: Check if the filter cartridge is clogged. Replace the filter if necessary. Ensure the diverter switch is fully engaged in filter mode.
Leaking: Ensure all connections are tight and that the silicone washer is correctly seated. Re-install the unit if leaks persist.
Unusual Taste/Odor: Flush the filter for a longer period (10-15 minutes). If the issue persists, replace the filter cartridge.
Smart Display Not Working: The smart display is battery-powered. If it's not functioning, the battery may need replacement (refer to product specifications for battery type, if applicable).
Water Still Appears Cloudy: Ensure the filter has been properly flushed. If the water remains cloudy after flushing and filter replacement, contact customer support.

Note on TDS: This filter will NOT lower the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value. For zero-TDS water, consider a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system.
