LOW WATER PRESSURE FROM DISPENSING FAUCET
POSSIBLE
CAUSE / SOLUTION
Air pressure in holding tank is
incorrect. This is the #1 reason
for low flow from reverse
osmosis faucet.
Open faucet and empty water from holding tank. Shut off feed
water to system and remove holding tank from under sink. (The
tank is easier to work on). Locate the air valve stem (just like on
a car or bicycle tire) and add air. If there is still water in the tank,
continue to add air until all the water is removed. Once all the
water is removed, continue to add air and pressurize to 5-7 PSI.
Re-install the tank under the sink, turn on the feed supply to
the system and allow the tank to fill.
Holding tank valve is partially
closed.
Open valve.
The faucet is out of
adjustment or faulty.
Repair or replace faucet.
Heavy water use. Holding tank
is empty.
Allow holding tank to refill.
Low water production.
See previous section on low quantity of water from holding
tank.
TASTES AND ODORS IN PRODUCT WATER
POSSIBLE
CAUSE / SOLUTION
Filters are exhausted.
Replace filters.
There is foreign matter in
holding tank.
Clean, flush and sanitize the holding tank. Replace filters.
Product water and drain water
lines are reversed.
Correct plumbing.
Dissolved gases in feed water.
Pre-treat feed water to remove gases.
Increase in product water TDS.
High TDS in product water or drain water lines are reversed.
