What does a "FLOW" error code typically indicate in relation to the filter?
A "FLOW" error often indicates restricted water flow through the system, which can be caused by a dirty or clogged filter cartridge leading to high operating pressure.
Will a clogged filter issue resolve itself over time?
No, a clogged filter cartridge requires cleaning or replacement to restore proper water flow and filtration; it will not resolve on its own.
What is the most common cause of a filter-related fault?
The most common cause is a dirty, clogged, or worn-out filter cartridge that has reached the end of its effective lifespan.
