SECTION VI. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Low quantity of Product Water  

from Holding Tank

Feed Water Saddle Valve is plugged or 

closed.

Open Valve or unclog.

Clogged Sediment Prefilter or 

Activated Carbon Prefilter.

Replace Filters.

Low water pressure.

Feed Water pressure must be above 

40 psig.

R.O. Membrane is fouled.

See Feed Water operating limits.

Correct cause of fouling, replace 

Membrane.

Plugged In–Line Activated Carbon Post 

Filter.

Replace Post Filter.

Air precharge pressure in Holding  

Tank is too high.

Empty water from Holding Tank, 

and with the faucet open, adjust air 

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

Air precharge is too low
Air bladder in the Holding Tank is   

ruptured.

Replace tank.

Holding Tank Valve is closed.

Open Valve.

No drain flow, the drain Drain Restrictor 

is plugged.

Clear or replace Drain Restrictor. 

No drain flow, the drain orifice in the 

Dispensing Faucet is plugged.

Clear or replace the Dispensing 

Faucet.

The Check Valve is stuck.

Free check.

The ASO Valve is malfunctioning.

Replace ASO Valve components.

Low pressure at the Dispensing 

Faucet

In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter is 

plugged.

Replace Post Filter. 

Air precharge in the Holding Tank is too 

low.

Empty water from Holding Tank and 

with the faucet open, adjust the air 

pressure to 5–7 psig (35–48 kPa) range.
Check for leakage at the Air Valve 

Stem.

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).

Low Water Production.

See Low Quantity of Product Water  

from Holding Tank section above.

High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in 

the Product Water

Clogged Sediment Prefilter or 

Activated Carbon Prefilter.

Replace Filters.

Low Water Pressure.

Feed Water Pressure must be above 

40 psig.
Check Feed Water Saddle Valve.

R.O. Membrane O–ring is crimped.

Check O–ring.

R.O. Membrane brine seal is not 

sealing up into the manifold head.

Check the brine seal.

R.O. Membrane is expended.

If Membrane life is unusually short, 

find and correct the problem. Replace 

Membrane.
