Possible Cause

Solution

Low quantity of Product Water  

from Holding Tank

Feed Water Valve is plugged or closed

Open or unclog valve

Clogged Sediment Module(s)

Replace module(s)

Low water pressure

Feed Water pressure must be above 40 

psig

RO Membrane is fouled.

Correct cause of fouling Replace Membrane

Air precharge pressure in Holding Tank is 

too high or too low

Empty water from Holding Tank, 

and with the faucet open, adjust air   

pressure to 5–7 psig (35–48 kPa) range.

Air bladder in the Holding Tank is   

ruptured.

Replace tank.

Holding Tank Valve is closed

Open Valve

No drain flow, the Drain Restrictor is 

plugged

Clear or replace Drain Restrictor.

No drain flow, the drain orifice in the

Holding Tank Valve is partially closed.

Open Valve

The Dispensing Faucet is out of adjustment 

or faulty.

Repair or replace Dispensing Faucet.

Heavy water use, Holding Tank is depleted. Allow Holding Tank to refill (adding a 

second Holding Tank will increase storage 

capacity).

See Low Quantity of Product Water  

from Holding Tank section above

High Total Dissolved Solids 

(TDS) in the Product Water

Clogged Sediment Module(s)

Replace Module(s)

Low Water Pressure.

If Membrane life is unusually short,

find and correct the problem; replace 

membrane

Membrane O–ring is crimped.

Check O–ring.

The Product Water and Drain Water 

lines are reversed

Correct plumbing

No drain flow, Drain Restrictor is clogged

The ASO Valve is not closing

Repair or replace the ASO Valve  

Components

New In-Line or Activated Carbon  

Post Filter not rinsed completely.

Flush with several full tanks of 

Product Water.

The Feed Water TDS has increased

An increase in Feed Water TDS will  

give a corresponding increase in  

Product Water TDS
