Possible causes

  1. The firmware and software are not the latest version.
  2. The proportion of the antifreeze is incorrect.
  3. The water pipe is clogged.
  4. The water-cooling system malfunctions.

Troubleshooting procedures

1. Check the firmware and software

Update the firmware and software to the latest version. And then restart the device.

2. Check the proportion of the antifreeze

(1) Check whether the proportion and volume of the antifreeze meet the actual requirements (as the table below).

When its concentration is too high, the water flow speed will decrease. Especially when you pour the whole antifreeze into the tank, the "water flow too low" error code may occur.

(2) If the water flow is too slow, follow step 3 in the tutorial to drain the antifreeze and refill the tank with the correct concentration of antifreeze.

3. Check the water flow

When the device powers on, the water pump keeps working, no matter whether you process or not.

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. Follow the video to remove the upper plate and the laser tube cover.
  3. Connect the power supply and turn on the device. Pinch the water pipe (as shown) and observe whether the water is flowing.
    • If the water flows normally, check for other issues.
    • If the water does not flow or flows intermittently, go to step 4 to check the water pipe.

4. Check the water pipe

  1. Disconnect the power supply.
  2. Follow the video to remove the rear plate.
  3. Check whether the water pipes (as shown) are kinked or bent severely, which may obstruct the water flow.
    • If they are kinked or bent, adjust them properly.
    • If they are not kinked or bent, check for other issues.

5. Check the water-cooling system

If the water-cooling system is faulty, see the video to replace it.
