Important: Check air pressure only when the tank is empty of water!
Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from
the RO system. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the valve that is located on the
bottom of the tank cover by a black cap.
Step 1 Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO by turning the needle valve counter
clockwise until it stops. Follow the white tubing from the RO system to the intake water
valve location.
Step 2 Open the RO Faucet and allow the water to drain from the tank until it is completely empty.
Tip: When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the faucet still in the open
position, you may add air to the tank to purge any left over water, this will ensure that
the tank is completely empty.
Step 3 Once all the water in the tank is purged, check
the air pressure using an air pressure gauge, it
should read between 5 to 7 psi. (Digital air
pressure gauge is recommended)
Step 4 Follow start-up procedure on page 14.
Turn off water supply by turning the RO intake water valve in a counterclockwise direction until
it stops and open the RO faucet to empty the storage tank. Once the storage tank is empty,
remove the membrane and place it in a sealed plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.

PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION
Milky coloured water Air in System
Air in the system is a normal occurrence during
initial start-up of the RO system. This milky colour will disappear
during normal use within 1 to 2 weeks.
Noise from faucet
Air Gap Faucet
Location of drain saddle
Restriction in drain line
Inherent sound with an air gap faucet
Relocate the drain to a horizontal location
Clear blockage that is sometimes caused by
debris from garbage disposal unit or dishwasher
Small amount of water leakage
System just started up
Air pressure in storage tank is
low
Normally it takes up to 4 hours to fill the RO tank. Low water
pressure and/or temperatures can reduce the water production
rate.
Add air pressure to the storage tank, the pressure should be 5 to 7
psi when the tank is empty.
Slow water production
Low water pressure
Crimps in tubing
Clogged pre-filters
Fouled membrane
This system requires min. 40 psi incoming water pressure. A booster
pump maybe needed in low water pressure area.
Check tubing straighten or repair as necessary.
Replace pre-filters.
Replace the membrane.
Offensive water taste or smell
Post carbon filter is depleted
Fouled Membrane
Sanitizer not flushed out
Replace the post carbon filter
Replace the membrane
Drain storage tank and refill it overnight. Repeat to discard 3 tanks
of water.
No drain water Clogged flow restrictor Replace the flow restrictor
Leaks
Fittings not tightened
Missing O-ring
Misalignment of hole in drain
saddle
Tighten fittings as necessary
Contact local dealer
Realign drain saddle
