Watts Premier RO-PURE Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual - Trouble Shooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Cause
Solution
1. Low/Slow Production
Low Water Pressure
Assure a minimum of 40 psi incoming water pressure.
Premier sells a booster pump if home water pressure is
low. Maker sure water supply is turned on and Adapta
Valve is all the way open
2. Milky colored Water
3. Water constantly
running unit will not
shut off
4. Noise / Water from
faucet vent hole or noise
from drain
5. Small amount of water
in storage tank
6. Water leaks from the filter
/ membrane housing
7. Low water flow from faucet
Crimps in tubing
Clogged pre-fi lters
Fouled membrane
Air in system
Low water pressure
Crimp in supply tube
Crimp or restriction
in drain line
Drain tube clogged
System starting up
Low water pressure
To much air in tank
Not properly inserted
Check air in tank
Check tubing and straighten or replace as
necessary. Replace pre-filters.
Replace membrane and flow restrictor.
Air in the system is a normal occurrence with initial
start up of the RO system. This milky look will
disappear during normal use within 1-2 weeks. If
condition reoccurs after filter change, drain tank 1 to
2 times.
See #1 Above
Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary
Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary.
Straighten all drain lines. Clear blockage. Cut off any
Excess tubing
Caused from dishwasher or garbage disposal.
Disconnect the 3/8” black line at the drain, clean the
3/8” black line out with a wire, then reconnect. Blowing
air through the line will not always remove the clog.
Normally it takes 6-10 hours to fill tank. Note: low
incoming water pressure and/or temperature can
drastically reduce production rate.
See #1 above.
Tank air pressure should be 5 psi when empty of
water. If below 5 psi add air or bleed if above 5 psi.
Check only when tank is empty of
water. See previous page.
Re-insert the fi lter / membrane housing.
Use a Digital Air Gauge for best results. The empty
tank pressure should be 5-7 psi. To reset the air
pressure in the tank turn off water supply and drain tank
by opening faucet. When water stops flowing out of the
faucet. Remove schrader valve cover pump air into tank
until water stops fl owing from the faucet. Release the air
out of the schrader valve until you reach 5-7 psi. Replace
schrader valve cover. Turn on Water.
