REVERSE OSMOSIS TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SYMPTOMS 

POSSIBLE CAUSES 

CORRECTIVE ACTION 

Low Inlet Pressure 

Low supply pressure 

Increase inlet pressure 

Cartridge filters plugged 

Change filters 

Solenoid valve malfunction 

Replace sol. valve and/or coil 

Motor may not be drawing correct current 

Use clamp-on amp meter to check the 
motor amp draw. 

Leaks 

Fix any visible leaks 

Low Permeate Flow 

Cold feed water 

See temperature correction sheet 

Low operating pressure 

See low inlet pressure 

Defective membrane brine seal 

Inspect and/or replace brine seal 

Fouled or scaled membrane 

Clean membranes 

High permeate flow 

Damaged product tube o-rings 

Inspect and/or replace 

Damaged or oxidized membrane 

Replace membrane 

Exceeding maximum feed water 
temperature 

See temperature correction sheet 

Poor permeate quality 

Low operating pressure 

See low inlet pressure 

Damage product tube o-rings 

Inspect and/or replace 

Damaged or oxidized membrane 

Replace membrane 

Membrane fouling 

Metal Oxide Fouling 

Improve pretreatment to remove metals. 
Clean with acid cleaners. 

Colloidal Fouling 

Optimize pretreatment for colloid 
removal. Clean with high pH anionic 
cleaners. 

Scaling (CaSO4, CaSO3, BaSO4, SiO2) 

Increase acid addition and antiscalant 
dosage for CaVO3 and CaCO4.  Reduce 
recovery. Clean with acid cleaners 

Biological Fouling 

Shock dosage of Sodium Bi-Sulfate.  
Continuous feed of Sodium Bi-Sulfate at 
reduced pH. 
Chlorination and de-chlorination.  
Replace cartridge filters. 
 

Organic Fouling 

Activated Carbon or other pretreatment. 
Clean with high pH cleaner. 
 

Chlorine Oxidation 

Check Chlorine feed equipment and de-
chlorination system. 
 

Abrasion of membrane by Crystalline 
Material 

Improve pretreatment. Check all filters 
for media leakage.
