INSTALLATION
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
Leak at feed saddle valve.
Cause:
Not clamped tightly enough.
Solution:
Tighten saddle clamp screws evenly and
firmly keeping both halves of the bracket
parallel. Be sure not to deform tubing.
Problem:
Leak at drain saddle.
Cause:
Not clamped tightly enough.
Solution:
Tighten drain saddle screws evenly and firm-
ly.
Problem:
Leak at threaded connection.
Cause:
Improperly taped or not tightened sufficient-
ly.
Solution:
Retape threaded portion with Teflon
®
tape and thread in firmly. Do not over tighten.
Problem:
Leak at push-in connection.
Cause:
Tubing defect or misassembly.
Solution:
Remove tubing. Squarely cut off 1/4 inch
using a sharp razor knife and reinsert
(see figure 6). Be sure tubing is pushed
in fully until it seats.
Problem:
Leak at filter housing.
Cause:
Defective or misaligned O-ring.
Solution:
Shut off feed valve. Shut off tank. Open
faucet until it stops dripping or for a mini-
mum of 5 minutes. Unscrew filter hous-
ing
and check condition of the O-ring. If mis-
aligned, reseat. If damaged, replace.
Problem:
Faucet leaks from spout with handle in
closed position.
Cause:
Obstruction or defective valve seat in
faucet mechanism.
Solution:
Remove spout with a twisting/lift motion
and slide faucet handle forward over
spout hole to gain access to faucet
valve. Unscrew the tee-bar and slotted
bushing to remove valve. Clean out
obstruction or replace with new valve
mechanism as necessary.
Problem:
No steady drip from open faucet after
tank is drained.
Causes: A)
Feed water valve not open.
B)
Feed water saddle valve not installed
properly.
C)
Leak from any product water connection.
D)
Icemaker valve left open before start-
up procedure completed.
E)
Air still trapped in system.
Solution: A)
Open valve fully.
B)
Check valve installation making sure
needle has pierced tubing.
C)
Correct leak as outlined above.
D)
Turn off icemaker valve and wait until
faucet drips.
E)
Wait for air to be purged.
Problem:
Water leaks from opening in air gap module.
Causes:
A)
Drain line blocked or drain not drilled
through completely.
B)
Air lock in air gap outlet.
C
) Excessive RO reject flow.
Solutions: A)
Check that drain line is clear of
obstruction and remove drain saddle
fitting to verify that the hole is drilled
through completely.
B)
Blow air into air gap outlet using
short length of tubing.
C)
Disconnect special SFC reject tubing
from faucet air gap inlet tubing and
check reject flow rate which should
be less than 175 ml/min. If greater
than 175 ml/min., replace special
SFC reject tubing with new one of
proper length.
Problem:
Too little or no reject flow.
Causes:
A)
Special SFC reject tubing plugged or
defective.
B)
Feed water saddle valve not open.
C)
Obstruction in faucet air gap module.
Solutions: A)
Replace SFC reject tubing with one
of proper length.
B)
Open feed water saddle valve fully.
C)
Remove air gap module and inspect
