reverse osmosis

lilitaly · 05/03/2006, 05:21 PM

For some reason my reverse osmosis is not working. I turn the water on and it enters the system but never comes back out and every once in a while i hear it coming out of the drain tube but never comes out of the tube to make water. Is there any way to problem solve this. any ideas or suggestions i would greatly apperciate it thank you

Try making sure that your RO Membrane is in correctly. If that doesn't do it, then I would drain the unit of all water and disconnect all the tubing. Then try blowing through all the tubes to see if air goes through. There could be a clog somewhere. If that still doesn't do it, it could be that your water pressure isn't strong enough. Hope this helps!

how long have you had it? and has it been running before this?

i must have it for about 8 months or so and it has been running perfectly for about 5 or 6

Could be your auto shut-off valve.

what is that

Change your prefilters and that might do the trick.

If you change those and there is no change, replace the membrane. Your filters are clogged

good luck!
