Troubleshooting Chart 

Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Remedy 

No water in the storage 
tank 

Filter Cartridges have failed. 

Replace filter cartridges as indicated in 
maintenance section. 

Cartridges are out of 
sequence. 

Install cartridges in proper sequence as 
indicated in system components. 

Cartridges are upside-down. 

Install carbon block filter right-side-up as 
indicated on the filter. 

No pressure in storage tank. 

Check pressure with pressure gauge.  Refill or 
reduce pressure to max 8 psi.  Note: Tank 
must be empty of water when checking the air 
pressure. 

Automatic shut-off valve 
malfunctioning. 

Check lines to valve for correct hook-up and 
check water running into the drain.  Replace if 
necessary. 

Kinked lines. 

Straighten lines if necessary. 

Getting low flow 

Incoming water pressure too 
low. 

Check source of feedwater (city water, well 
water, etc.) for pressure.  A booster pump may 
be required. 

Change in feedwater 
temperature. 

The reverse osmosis membrane used in your 
unit is rated at 77ºF and 60psi.  Water 
production will decrease approximately 1.5% 
for each degree that your incoming water is 
below 77ºF.  It may be necessary to change to 
a higher flow membrane (and flow restrictor). 

Storage tank pressure is too 
low. 

Check pressure with gauge and refill to 
maximum 8 psi.  Note:  Tank must be empty of 
water when checking the air pressure. 

Filters are clogged. 

Replace Filters. 

Water leakage at filter 
bowls 

Filter bowls are loose. 

Retighten. 

Burr on edge of filter bowl. 

Remove burr with emery cloth or sand paper. 

O-Ring in filter bowls is 
missing, damaged, or not 
sealed properly 

Replace or position correctly. 

Water backing up to air gap 
in faucet  (Systems w/ air 
gap faucets only) 

Line is clogged. 

Clean out the line. 

Line is too long. 

Must be as short and straight as possible. 

Drain line is clogged. 

Disconnect 3/8” dia. Line and clean out with 
probe or by flushing. 

Faucet spout is dripping 

Handle sticking or worn.  

Replace the faucet 

Milky colored water 

Air in the system 

Air in the system is normal after startup of the 
RO.  Water should lose the milky look within a 
few days of normal usage.
