my r o has stopped advice please
« on: September 29, 2013, 10:36:37 pm »
My 350 gpd r o unit has stopped completely.
 Ive just come home and turned the tap on for water in the morning and nothings coming out at all.
I only fitted new filters on it last week as production had slowed down, and with the new filters it had been fine.
Anyone got advice about this.
Thanks.

Have you checked the obvious; is there water coming out of the tap where the RO is connected?

When you flush it, does water come out?
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

First, unplug the pipe that goes into the membranes and check water is coming out. If not, I would start by taking out your filters then putting them back in and checking that they are in the right order. Since that is what you changed, that is most likely where your problem is.

If you've got prefilters, when did you last change them? Have you replaced the x3 prefilters with a Fibradine filter? If, after taking off the pipe and checking the flow to the ro and it's only coming out at trickle, it could well be your prefilters that need changing. You could always take them out (prefilters) and then check flow to ro, just to make sure.

Going back to my earlier question, is it coming out of the filters and going into the membranes?
