SECTION VII. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

 Open Valve or unclog.

 Replace filters.

 Feed Water pressure must be above
 40 psig.
 See Feed Water operating limits.
 Correct cause of fouling, replace
 Membrane.
 Replace Post Filter.

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

 Open Valve.
 Clear or replace Drain Restrictor.

 Clear or replace the Air Gap Faucet.

 Free check.
 Replace ASO Valve components.
 Replace Post Filter.

 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.
 Open Valve.

 Repair or replace Dispensing Faucet.

 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.
 Replace Filters.

 Feed Water Pressure must be above
 40 psig.
 Check Feed Water Saddle Valve.
 Check O–ring.
 Check the brine seal.

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

 Feed Water Saddle Valve is plugged or
 closed.
 Clogged Sediment/Carbon Prefilter or
 Activated Carbon Post Filter.
 Low water pressure.

 R.O. Membrane is fouled.

 Plugged In–Line Activated Carbon Post
 Filter.
 Air precharge pressure in Holding
 Tank is too high.
 Air precharge is too low
 Air bladder in the Holding Tank is
 ruptured.

 Holding Tank Valve is closed.
 No drain flow, the Drain Restrictor
 is plugged.
 No drain flow, the drain orifice in the
 Air Gap Faucet is plugged.
 The Check Valve is stuck.
 The ASO Valve is malfunctioning.
 In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter
 is plugged.
 Air precharge in the Holding Tank is
 too low.

 Holding Tank Valve is partially
 closed.
 The dispensing Faucet is out of
 adjustment or faulty.
 Heavy water use, Holding Tank is
 depleted.

 Low Water Production.

 Clogged Sediment/Carbon Prefilter or
 Activated Carbon Post Filter.
 Low Water Pressure.

 R.O. Membrane O–ring is crimped.
 R.O. Membrane brine seal is not
 sealing up into the manifold head.
 R.O. Membrane is expended.
