Troubleshooting

pRobleM 

CaUse 

solUtioN

Low/Slow production

Low water pressure 

 

 

Crimps in tubing 

Clogged pre-filters 

Fouled membrane

Assure a minimum of 40psi incoming water pressure. Watts sells a booster pump 

if home water pressure is low. Make sure water supply is turned on and Adapt-A-

Valve™ is all the way open.

Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary.

Replace pre-filters.

Replace membrane and clean flow restrictor.

Milky colored water

Air in system

Air in the system is a normal occurrence with initial start up of the RO system. This 

milky look will disappear during normal use within 1-2 weeks. If condition reoccurs 

after filter change, drain tank 1 to 2 times.

Water constantly running unit  

will not shut off

Low water pressure 

 

Fouled membrane 

High water pressure 

 

High air pressure in tank

See #1 above. 

 

Replace membrane. 

Check incoming water pressure to make sure it does not exceed 100psi. A pressure 

relief valve may be necessary. Empty storage tank of water. Set tank air pressure to 

5psi. See previous page.

Noise from faucet or drain

Air gap faucet 

Location of drain saddle 

Higher capacity membrane 

High water pressure

Inherent sound with air-gap faucets. 

See diagram for proper location of drain saddle. 

Normal with high-capacity membrane 

Check incoming water pressure to make sure it does not exceed 100psi. A pressure 

relief valve may be necessary.

Faucet leaks from 

the air gap feature

Crimp or loop in drain line 

Drain tube clogged/restricted

Straighten black

Small amount of water in 

storage tank

System just starting up 

 

Low water pressure 

Too much air in tank

Normally it takes 6-10 hours to fill tank. Note: Low pressure and/or temperature can 

drastically reduce production rate. 

See #1 Above 

Add air if below 5psi and bleed if above 5psi. Check only when tank is empty of water. 

See previous page.

Water leaks from the 

filter housing

Not properly tightened. 

Missing or kinked O-ring

Tighten the bowl. 

Turn off the water supply. Release the pressure, remove bowl and replace the O-ring. 

Make sure the O-ring is seated in the filter bowl properly before reinstalling the filter 

bowl.
