WaterSaver Technologies AQUS WS-06000 System

How To Maintain the AQUS:

1. Remember that your Aqus System requires maintenance once a year.
2. Replace the disinfection tablet. Remove the tablet dispenser lid, place three tablets in the unit, and close the lid.
   1. The semi-transparent dispenser should allow you to see when you need to replace the tablet. You can purchase replacements through the WaterSaver Technologies website or through retail stores.
3. Clean the filter screen. Remove the screen by unscrewing the four #6 philips head screws and pulling it straight up from the tank lid; rise it; reinstall it with the four screws.

Troubleshooting:

Symptom: Bubbles in toilet bowl

Cause: Heavy usage of hand soaps or detergents

Solution: Make several flush cycles to dilute soaps and reduce amount of bubbles

Symptom: Connections inside Vanity will not fit

Cause: Wall drain is NOT 18" off finished floor and/or wall drain is NOT 12" off vanity cabinet shelf

Solution: Wall drain is not at normal plumbing code level. If wall drain is too low, then alternatives may inc: * cut opening in vanity floor to recess reservoir * Use shallow P-trap or alternative PVC parts. If wall drain is too high, then alternatives may inc: * reverse P-trap * Shim tank higher

Symptom: FCU will not raise fill valve to OFF position

Cause: Brass not adjusted properly

Solution: Brass weight is preinstalled to operate properly. Depending upon the fill valve used, there may be obstructions on the bottom of the fill valve that cause the FCU to snag. Moving brass weight may avoid interference

Symptom: No 110V plug inside Vanity cabinet

Cause: Many bathrooms have 110V plug above vanity cabinet

Solution: Engage certified electrician to install 110V plug inside vanity cabinet

Symptom: Pump is noisy

Cause: Normal pump operation

Solution: Pump is no louder than icemaker or electric shaver. Sound is different and requires getting used too

 

Cause: Pumping without water

Solution: When reservoir is dry, pumps labors as it sends air to toilet and noise level increases. Normal bathroom activities resolve noise level

 

Cause: Pump is failing

Solution: Turn water on in sink for 2-3 minutes. Flush toilet. Has noise level reduced? YES: Continue normal operations. NO: Possible pump failure. Call for service

 

Symptom: Pump runs too long, too short, or intermittantly

Cause: Circuit board timer failure

Solution: Call for service

Symptom: Pump runs too long or too short for toilet size

Cause: Pump timer is preset for 1.6 gallon gpf toilets

Solution: Pump timer located on top of the reservoir may be adjusted to increase or decrease the length of pumping. Adjust the timer clockwise to increase the pump run time. Reverse this process to reduce run time. Move timer in 1/4 turn increments.

Symptom: Reused water in toilet is ugly

Cause: Unattractive liquid poured in sink (ex. Coffee, cola)

Solution: Rinse clear water down sink and flush toilet to flush unattractive liquid from system

Symptom: Reused water is not filling tank

Cause: Electrical system has failed - it has become unpluged.

Solution: Replug transformer into wall outlet

 

Cause: Electrical system has failed - Switch on FCU failed

Solution: Call for service

       

Cause: Electrical system has failed - Pump isn't running

Solution: Call for service

       

Cause: Electrical system has failed - Hose is clogged

Solution: Call for service. DO NOT pour drain unclogging products down sink May damage Aqus system

Symptom: Toilet will not flush

Cause: Fresh water supply is OFF

Solution: Turn ON fresh water supply

       

Cause: FCU is out of alignment and is interfering with proper toilet operation

Solution: Remove toilet tank lid, flush toilet and observe operation. If FCU is interferring then remove Placement Tool from FCU and reposition FCU

Symptom: Toilet does not have a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve

       

Cause: Toilet is equipped with a different fill valve

Solution: Aqus has been successfully tested and designed to function properly with a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve. Other similar style fill valves may be used in conjunction with the Aqus. We recommend replacing existing fill valve with Fluidmaster 400A

Symptom: Toilet does not have Tank

       

Cause: Aqus was designed to work exclusively with tank type Toilets

Solution: Aqus prevents cross contamination of the fresh water system and does not interfere with back flow prevention when used with tank type toilets Replace tankless toilet.

Symptom: Toilet is dual flush or pressure assist type

       

Cause: Aqus was designed to work with gravity fed toilet tanks where FCU can operate Properly

Solution: Replace dual flush or pressure assist toilet with gravity fed toilet

Symptom: Unpleasant odor

Cause: Chlorine tablets have dissolved and reservoir has grown odor causing Bacteria

Solution: Step 1. Turn water on in sink and pour a capful of chlorine bleach down drain to shock odor Step 2. Replace tablets

   

Cause: P-Trap is dry

Solution: Turn water on for 5 minutes to reprime P-trap

Symptom: Time it takes to refill toilet tank

Cause: 12 V DC Pump Perfomance

Solution: The pump is intended to provide an effective reused water supply at a distance of less than 25 ft with 4 ft head pressure. As distance exceeds 15 ft, the perfomance begins to Diminish and fill time takes longer

Symptom: Water backing up into sink

Cause: Clog in P-trap or waste line

Solution: Clog is downstream from reservoir. DO NOT pour unclogging products down drain. May damage Aqus system. Call plumber to clear obstruction
