TROUBLE SHOOTING

Cause
Low Water Pressure
Crimps in tubing
Clogged pre-fi lters
Fouled membrane
Air in system
Low water pressure
Crimp in supply tube
Crimp or restriction in
drain line
Drain tube clogged
System starting up
Low water pressure
To much air in tank
Not properly inserted
Check air in tank
Solution
Assure a minimum of 40 psi incoming water pressure.
Premier sells a booster pump if home water pressure is
low. Maker sure water supply is turned on and Adapta
Valve is all the way open
Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary.
Replace pre-fi lters.
Replace membrane and fl ow restrictor.
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 fi lter change, drain tank 1 to 2
times.
See #1 Above
Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary
Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary.
Straighten all drain lines. Clear blockage. Cut off any
Excess tubing
Caused from dishwasher or garbage disposal.
Disconnect the 3/8" black line at the drain, clean the
3/8" black line out with a wire, then reconnect. Blowing
air through the line will not always remove the clog.
Normally it takes 6-10 hours to fi ll tank. Note: low
incoming water pressure and/or temperature can
drastically reduce production rate.
See #1 above.
Tank air pressure should be 5 psi when empty of water.
If below 5 psi add air or bleed if above 5 psi.
Check only when tank is empty of water.
See previous page.
Re-insert the fi lter / membrane housing.
Use a Digital Air Gauge for best results. The empty
tank pressure should be 5-7 psi. To reset the air pressure
in the tank turn off water supply and drain tank by
opening faucet. When water stops fl owing out of the
faucet. Remove schrader valve cover pump air into
tank until water stops fl owing from the faucet. Release
the air out of the schrader valve until you reach 5-7 psi.
Replace schrader valve cover. Turn on Water.
