Can I reuse discharge water?
Never consume discharge water. With proper inallation it is possible to utilize your discharge water.
Contact Express Water to speak with a qualied representative who can give you more information based
on your situation.
How long does the syem la? How long does the tank la?
With proper maintenance and average water quality an RO Syem should la 5-10 years. The water orage
tank usually las 3-5 years before we recommend replacing it.
Can I change my 50 GPD (Gallons Per Day) syem to 100 GDP? If so, how?
Yes, to do so, you will need dierent parts (such as the RO Membrane and Flow Rerictor). Contact Express
Water and we will help you arrange your upgrade.
Why are there bubbles in the water?
For Alkaline Syems it is normal to have more bubbles in your water because of the higher oxygen content.
Bubbles in your water is a common issue, but they only aect the appearance of your water and pose no risk.
There can frequently be air trapped inside any plumbing syem, so the air may be coming from your home’s
plumbing and not the RO Syem. Trapped air happens frequently when you change a lter, when there is a
leak in your syem or plumbing, or even when there is conruction in your area. Check your syem carefully
for any leaks or unexplained moiure. You may need to carefully tilt the syem various directions then set it
back in place to help release trapped air.
Does this produce aquarium safe water?
Alkaline water is NOT safe for aquatic life. The PH and minerals of Alkaline water are not good aquariums,
while the water is perfectly safe for human consumption.
Why do I need to ush the syem?
New lters (or lters that have experienced extended disuse) can develop carbon residue. We recommend
emptying the Water Storage Tank four times (which can take 8-12 hours) to release any extra carbon before
the water is safe to drink.
How much water can the Water Storage Tank hold?
The maximum capacity of the tank is 3.2 gallons. However, the typical tank reaches 2-2.5 gallons. Your Water
Storage Tank’s capacity depends on your incoming water pressure. Lower water pressure means the tank will
hold less water.
