Possible Causes
Drain hose installed too low, no high loop or air gap, incorrect connection to floor drain, faulty non-return valve in drain line.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before modifying plumbing.
- 1. Verify drain hose routing: Ensure the drain hose rises to the recommended height above the floor before connecting to the drain system.
- 2. Install high loop or air gap: Create a high loop under the counter or install an air gap device as per Jet Tech installation guidelines.
- 3. Check non-return valve: Inspect and clean the check valve in the drain outlet. Replace it if it does not close properly.
- 4. Test operation: After corrections, run a fill cycle and confirm that water remains in the tank until the programmed drain.
