The manual does not provide specific instructions for fixing a leak in the UV filter of the Apec Water ESSENCE ROES-PHUV75. However, general troubleshooting steps for leaks include:
1. Turn Off Water Supply – Shut off the main water supply to prevent further leakage. 2. Check Fittings and Connections – Ensure all fittings are properly tightened and not cross-threaded. 3. Inspect O-Rings and Seals – Check for damaged or misaligned O-rings and replace if necessary. 4. Verify Tubing Connections – Ensure all tubing is fully inserted into the quick-connect fittings. 5. Replace Faulty Components – If the UV filter housing is cracked or damaged, it may need replacement. 6. Contact APEC Support – If the issue persists, reach out to APEC or your distributor for further assistance or replacement parts.
Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when performing maintenance or repairs.
