If your Akw Plumbing Product has no water flow, there are several potential causes. First, check if the water isolating valve is in the off position and turn on the water supply. Another cause might be a blocked filter; in this case, turn off the water supply, remove, and clean the filter. Finally, ensure that the power supply is on.
