Hey, There’s Something In My Water!
The most common substance seen in your RO water is dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Some feedwater supplies are high in these dissolved gases and they can cause the RO water to
appear cloudy. If this cloudiness goes away after allowing the water to stand in a clear glass for
30 minutes, then you can be sure the cloudiness is dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide. In many
locations, this cloudiness is a seasonal event and will stop after a few weeks. Changing filters may
also introduce air into the system, but any cloudiness that results will be eliminated after several days.
Occasionally, after changing the post-filter, black specks may be observed in the RO water.
These are carbon fines (extremely small particles of carbon). They are not harmful and should dis-
appear after a few days. Try emptying the storage tank every night to more rapidly flush these fines
from the system. If this problem persists, contact your local Water Factory Systems dealer and
arrange to have the post-filter cartridge replaced.
