I have a filterguys 5 stage filter and it's severely dropping in water production. Even with all brand new filter elements. When replacing the canisters and starting back up, it's taking several minutes just to get water to finally fill the 3rd stage canister. Other than removing the canisters, is there any other kind of maintenance that can be done to speed things back up? My water pressure gauge on the unit either hasn't worked in a while, or it's picking up on whatever is wrong with this unit. My home's water pressure has not changed. Today I noticed it's not putting out any water at all, but the canisters are filling up slowly. Seems like there might be a clog somewhere or something.
Any ideas?
