Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Causes
Solution
1 . Low / Slow Production
Low Water pressure
Incoming water pressure to unit must be at least 40 psi .
Old Adapt-A-Valve
If you have recently installed the system, make sure any
old Adapt-A-Valves, from previous systems, have been
replaced
Crimps in tubing
Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary
Clogged pre-filters
Replace pre-filters
Fouled Membrane
Replace Membrane .
Clogged Post-Carbon Filter
Replace Post-Carbon filter
2 . Milky colored water
Air in system
Air in the system is a normal occurance with the initial
start-up after RO installation or filter replacement . This
will disappear during normal use within 1-2 weeks . If it
continues, check incoming water .
3 . System is constantly running .
Crimps in tubing
Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary
Clogged pre-filters
Replace prefilters
Fouled Membrane
Replace Membrane .
Other
Turn off the valve at the top of the tank and check water
production from faucet . The system should produce at
least 3-4 ounces (89-118 mL) per minute with the tank
off . If it is producing less, check for clogged pre-filters or
a fouled membrane .
4 . Small amount of water in storage
tank
System is starting up
Normally it takes 4-6 hours to fill tank . Note: low storage
tank pressure, incoming water pressure, and/or tem-
perature can drastically reduce production rate .
Low water pressure
See Item 1
Air pressure in tank is too high
