How do I troubleshoot a leaking RO system?Updated 3 months ago
If you encounter a leak in your RO system, it's essential to follow a thorough troubleshooting process:
- Ensure all tubing connections are correct according to the RO system diagram. It is advisable to check each connection point carefully.
- Verify that the water flows properly from the filters to the Auto Shutoff Valve (ASO). You should not see water exiting the RO membrane unless it's a completely closed system.
- Inspect the collet ring, if visible, for any imperfections as it is a common leakage point.
- Feel the water storage tank to determine if it is heavy, indicating water accumulation.
- Disconnect the house plumbing and directly observe the water flow to identify if the problem lies in the output mechanism.
- Consider the water pressure at your home; if it's too high or too low, it is often recommended to use a pressure reducer.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider contacting the manufacturer for potential replacement parts or additional guidance on resolving defects.
