REVERSE OSMOSIS TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE 

Problem Possible 

Cause

Solution

Low quantity of Reverse 
Osmosis Product Water from 
Holding Tank 

Reverse Osmosis Feed Water Ball 
Valve is plugged or closed. 

Open Valve or unclog. 

Clogged Sediment Pre-filter or 
Activated Carbon Pre-filter. 

Replace Reverse Osmosis  filters. 

Low water pressure. 

Reverse Osmosis Feed Water 
pressure must be above 40 psig. 

Reverse Osmosis. Membrane is 
fouled. 

See Reverse Osmosis Feed Water 
operating limits. Correct cause of 
fouling, replace Membrane. 

Plugged In-Line Activated Carbon 
Post Filter. 

Replace Post Filter. 

Air pre-charge pressure in Holding 
Tank is too high. 

Empty water from Reverse 
Osmosis Holding Tank, and with 
the faucet open, adjust air pressure 
to 5 – 7 psig (35–48 kPa) range. 

Air pre-charge is too low 

Air Bladder in the Holding Tank is 
ruptured. 

Replace Reverse Osmosis  tank. 

Holding Tank Valve is closed.  

Open Valve. 

No drain flow, the Drain Restrictor 
is plugged. 

Clear or replace Drain Restrictor. 

The Check Valve is stuck. 

Free check. 

The ASO Valve is malfunctioning. 

Replace ASO Valve components. 

Low pressure at the Reverse 
Osmosis Dispensing Faucet 

In-Line Activated Carbon Post Filter 
is plugged. 

Replace Post Filter. 

Air pre-charge in the Reverse 
Osmosis Holding Tank is too low. 

Empty water from Reverse 
Osmosis Holding Tank and with the 
faucet open, adjust air pressure to 
5 – 7 psig (35-48 kPa) range. 
Check for leakage at the Reverse 
Osmosis Air Valve Stem. 

Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank 
Valve is partially closed.  

Open Valve 

The dispensing Faucet is out of 
adjustment or faulty. 

Repair or replace Reverse Osmosis 
Dispensing Faucet. 

Heavy water use, Reverse 
Osmosis Holding Tank is depleted. 

Allow Reverse Osmosis  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 Pre-filter or 
Activated Carbon Pre-filter. 

Replace Reverse Osmosis Filters. 

Low Water Pressure. 

Reverse Osmosis Feed Water 
Pressure must be above 40 psig. 
Check Feed Water Ball Valve. 

Reverse Osmosis Membrane O-
ring is crimped. 

Check O-ring. 

Reverse Osmosis Membrane brine 
seal is not sealing up into the 
manifold head. 

Check the brine seal. 

Reverse Osmosis  Membrane is 
expended. 

If Reverse Osmosis  Membrane life 
is unusually short, find and correct 
the problem. Replace Membrane.
