CAUSE
Tube is not joined tightly
Drain saddle is not installed
properly
O-ring seal is lacking or misaligned
Sump is not joined tightly
Water supply pressure too low
Pre-filter cartridges are clogged
Membrane is clogged
A tube is kinked
Pressure tank is deflated
Air in the auto shut off valve
Water supply pressure too high
SOLUTION
Remove and rejoin the tube
Reinstall drain saddle as described in paragraph
4.2 in this manual
Check that the O-ring seal is properly aligned in the
groove inside sump
Tighten the sump till snug
This RO system requires at least 3 bar to function
properly. If necessary, install a pressure booster
pump or consult a plumber
Replace pre-filter cartridges
Measure permeate flowrate by closing tank valve
6 and opening faucet 3. Use a measuring cup to
check if the time it takes to produce 1 L drinking
water is as follows:
– 8 minutes with 50 gpd membrane;
– 5-6 minutes with 75 gpd membrane;
– 4 minutes with 100 gpd membrane.
If it took twice as long or more to produce 1 liter
of water, the membrane may need to be replaced
(refer to the store where you bought this product)
Straighten the tube
Pressure in the empty tank should be 0,4-0,6 bar
(6-9 psi). Charge the tank to the above pressure
The air will go away by itself with continued
operation of the system
Check your water supply pressure. If necessary,
install a pressure regulator or refer to a plumber
