Trouble shooting

Problem
Low/slow production
Milky colored water
Faucet Dripping
Pump short cycles
Bowl leaks at the top after
changing the filters
Pump constantly running
Checking air pressure in tank
Note: Check air pressure when tank is empty.
Step 1
Open faucet and drain the tank.
Step 2
Using a digital air gauge check the air pressure in the tank.
There should always be between 5-7 psi.
Step 3
If you have more than 7 psi release air and recheck. If you
have less than 5 psi, add air. Air can be added with a
bicycle pump.

Solution
Relieve pressure at schrader valve on tank (set
to 7 psi with the tank empty)
Wiring connection broken (plug 110 AC wall
plug back in at wall and/or reconnect the 24
VAC wire harness connectors)
Replace pump if needed
Replace membrane
Replace filters
Check tubes to make sure they are not kinked
Ensure valves are opened by turning valve
handle counter clockwise until it stops
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 changes,
drain tank 1 to 2 times.
