Hi I've had my osmolator working fine for a few years, no problems at all. I recently moved my tank and so had the unit disconnected for a day or two, upon plugging it back in I expected it to work fine but alas:
The water level was a bit low so I expected the pump to just raise the water to the correct level but as soon as I turn the unit on, the "Pump On" LED turns on, then a second later the "Level" LED turns on (it doesnt click straight onto being as bright as it used to, it seems to flicker on and gets brighter over a few seconds (like a halide bulb)).
At this point, the water level is still too low so "Level" shouldnt be displayed, and, the pump doesnt do anything, makes no noise at all. And then a few seconds later the "Level" LED turns off, but the "Too Low" LED doesnt come on in its place.
When I manually raise the water level, to the right level the green "Level" LED appears as it should do, and likewise when I lift up the float valve the unit makes the buzzing sound correctly.
So, I wonder what is going on? There is no way water could have been spilt on the main unit. At the moment I'm thinking/hoping it is the mains adaptor, do any of these symptoms sound like there could be something wrong with it?
Many thanks, and I hope the post makes sense!
