‘The wades flow is reduced:

• The pre-filer mesh might need leaning, this s needs dining regular intervals depending on the quantity of particles in the water.

I cannot notice the effects of the system:

• If the filter system is new you should expect it totaled a few days to work fully.
• The dosing cartridge is empty (check the red ball indicator) and should be replaced.
• The dosing system is faulty unlikely) causing the Incorrect low dosage to be applied, the dosing filter should be replaced,

Debris is coming from the water supply:

• The pre-liter mesh s damaged allowing debris to enter and should be replaced.
• The size of the debris is smaller than the pre-fitter aging (but not harmful for your system).
