Plumbed in L1 has started bleeping
My L1 is stil performing perfectly but the low-water level alarm (I assume that's what it is) has started bleeping - but it is a plumbed-in machine so the water level should always be maintained. It never use to do this - any ideas?
Comments
disconnect the water supply where it connects to the inlet solenoid and see if water gushes out when you turn the water supply back on
if it does, then you know the obstruction is in the solenoid
the solenoid has a filter in it for this very purpose, so check that next
kind regards

i was at the manufacturer yesterday (28/10) and raised this issue with them
the only thing they can think of is a loose connection on the bypass wire that connects the two wires that would normally connect to the bottom of the water tank on a pump & tank model to protect the machine in the event of the water tank being run dry
obviously these two wires have no such function on a plumbed in machine, so we use a bypass wire to connect these two wires together
let me know how you get on
(normally when the alarm sounds the machine switches off the element and prevents it from coming back on unless the machine is physically switched off and back on again, which resets the electronic control unit)
kind regards

It was not the L1, but the water flow-meter installed just underneath the bench where the L1 sits warning me it will be soon time to change the Everpure cartridge.
I feel slightly stupid now, but at least I've found out what the problem was.
As I grow older I notice my hearing is less acute so I might just say "What beeping" if my wife hears something I don't. She was not exposed to as much machine gun fire and cannon and rocket fire as I was so her ears are waaaaay better!
Beeping, beeping, WHAT BEEPING??!
i really appreciate it when people take the time to post the outcome and don't just bugger off into the sunset until they next need help from the forum, so thank you as this really builds the value of the forum
roland's experience also underlines a firm belief of mine - any water treatment system without a volumetric flow meter with an audible alarm is as good as useless
why? because being human almost all of us tend to forget to replace filters at the necessary intervals
a filter that isn't changed when it needs to be is no longer protecting your machine, and left for long enough will become a health hazard - I've seen some pretty awful green slime inside filters that have been neglected

Are those flow meters powered by line voltage??
