6 hours my tank has been filling up in the van with pure water,
     its normally full to the brim now, but its only half full for the second day running, in fact it wasnt even full this morning after being on all night......, the pressure going through the Ro via hose pipe is normal yet all i have is a pathetic trickle into the tank.....

anyone ever had this problem.

Cheers

Gary.

ive had this mate, its usually a air lock in the RO, unscrew the prefilters and leave running for a min and then slowly back upits what i do, has happened a few times to me.

[mark coates]

your filters in your ro unit may need replacing, i hear this can affect water production, although iv only had my unit for few mth so no need to replace mine and therefore cant speak from experience

[geefree]

thanks lads, i thought when the filters needed replacing the tds simply went up.... will try your idea LWC to see if i can release an air lock, do i simply screw off  tops of cannisters or whatever they call them lol

cheers. ,?

[LWC]

yeh, you dont need to take them off, just unscrew them until the water starts trickling down the side, move to the next till water runs down side till youve done all three, leave them run for a min to release all the air, and do them back up, and not too tight!

thanks mate will do it now

its the first prefilter the cloth 1, it breaks down after time and clogs up

well thats what alex told me last month when mine stopped, i brought a new complete system ( when i could have got the pre filter for 10 quid )

Definitely the first filter clogging up and slowing down production

any luck gaz?

[paul mather]

This happened to me & after replacing all 3 filters it was solved. For the cost saving its not worth replacing one filter at a time.

One other thing I've noticed, when the water company are doing repair works in your local area be prepared to have to replace your filters petty quickly. All that silt clogs them up.

cant get them off lol

I had this the other week what i did is kept my finger tight over the end of the hose where you pure water comes out of you will feel the pressure build up then take you finger off and bingo worked for me.

[Wayne Thomas]

cant get them off lol

Turn the tap off

Seriously,  use a rubber wrap around strap wrench and remember to turn anti-clockwise to remove

[LWC]

if youve got pressure going through them will be a pain to get off. turn tap off hehehe

[geefree]

lol,  i know which way to turn  and to turn the water off ,     stiff as hell will need something stronger.... will try building the pressure up too with finger blocking end of hose

cheers
