Solution
It's a normal occurrence during initial start-up of the system. This milky
color will disappear during normal use within 1 to 2 weeks.
Normal sound with an Air Gap Faucet when the RO system is producing
RO water.
Relocate the drain to a horizontal location.
Clear blockage that is sometimes caused by debris from garbage disposal
unit or dishwasher.
The systems require min 40 psi incoming water pressure. A booster pump
may be needed in low water area.
Normally it takes up to 2 hours to fill the Storage Tank.
Add air pressure to the Tank. The pressure should be 5 to 7 psi when the
Tank is empty.
Check Tubing - Straighten or repair as necessary.
Replace Pre-Filters.
Replace the Membrane.
Replace the GAC Polishing Filter.
Replace the Membrane.
Drain the Storage Tank and refill it. Repeat to discard 3 tanks of water.
Replace the Drain Flow Regulator.
Eliminate restriction or plug. Check the drain line is routed properly, not
clogged or crimped.
Tighten Fittings as necessary.
Cut the Tubing end square.
Push the Tubing in all the way.
Pull the Tubing out of the Connector, cut off problem area and reinsert the
Tubing into the connector.
Check the O-rings and replace if necessary.
