7. TROUBLESHOOTING
The troubleshooting chart in this Section is a diagnostic guide. If the MX system does
not respond to the recommended solutions, do not attempt further repairs. Call your
Local Service Provider.
Before calling:
• Become thoroughly familiar with the module and all troubleshooting procedures.
• Prepare a list of all problems encountered while operating the equipment.
• Have your monitoring log sheets at hand.
• Have your module’s model and serial numbers at hand. This information can be
found on the end plate on the non-plumbing side (anode). See Figure 1-1.

.
Recalculate current according to
Section 4 and adjust as necessary
Bad electrical connection
or power supply issue
Check power supply connection and
operation
Loss of flow and/or
increase in feed pressure
Module is fouled, scaled,
or oxidized
See Troubleshooting chart at the
end of this section.
Obstruction downstream
Check if a downstream valve is
inadvertently closed
System is plugged with
particulate matter or fouled
See Troubleshooting Flow Chart at
