Common RO-90 Ultra Reverse Osmosis Issues and Solutions
Slow and Little RO Water Output
Visual Reference: Figures 1 and 2
Explanation: This issue typically pertains to the RO faucet. If the water output is slow or minimal, check for clogs or malfunctions in the faucet mechanism.
No Purified Water
Visual Reference: Figures 1 and 2
Explanation: This problem also relates to the RO faucet. If no water is coming out, inspect the faucet and the system connections.
Waste Water: Slow to No Shutoff
Visual Reference: Drain line at Point W on Figure 1
Explanation: If the waste water does not shut off, check the drain line for clogs or obstructions.
High TDS in RO Water
Explanation: High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels in the RO water can indicate filter or membrane issues.
Noise: Humming, Buzzing
Visual Reference: The Check Valve at Point E on Figure 2
Explanation: Unusual noises like humming or buzzing may be due to the check valve malfunctioning.
Noise: Sputtering
Visual Reference: ASO at Point C on Figure 2
Explanation: Sputtering noises can be a sign of airlock in the ASO (Auto Shut Off) valve.
Milky Colored Water
Explanation: Milky water can result from air bubbles or a broken membrane.
Vibration Lines
Visual Reference: See Figures 1 and 2
Explanation: Vibration lines in the water may indicate a loose or improperly installed component.
Leaks
Explanation: Leaks can occur at any connection point or due to missing O-Rings. Inspect all connections and seals.
Strange Water Taste and Smells
Explanation: Unpleasant taste or smell in the RO water may indicate a problem with the filters or the membrane.

H2: Identifying and Solving RO Water Output Problems
H3: Slow and Little RO Water Output
When the RO water output is slower than expected or the amount is significantly reduced, it is often related to the RO faucet. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for a visual guide on how to inspect the faucet and its components.
H3: No Purified Water
If there is no water output from the RO system, it is crucial to check the RO faucet and the system connections. Figures 1 and 2 provide a clear visual reference for this process.
H2: Waste Water Management Issues
H3: Waste Water: Slow to No Shutoff
A common issue is the slow or complete failure of the waste water to shut off. This problem can be traced to the drain line, specifically at Point W on Figure 1. Inspect the drain line for any clogs or obstructions that may be causing this issue.
H2: Water Quality Concerns
H3: High TDS in RO Water
High TDS levels in the RO water can be a sign of filter or membrane problems. It is essential to monitor the TDS levels and replace filters or membranes as needed to maintain optimal water quality.
H3: Noise: Humming, Buzzing
Unusual noises like humming or buzzing may indicate a malfunctioning check valve. Refer to Point E on Figure 2 to locate the check valve and inspect it for any issues.
H3: Noise: Sputtering
Sputtering noises are often associated with airlock in the ASO (Auto Shut Off) valve. Check Point C on Figure 2 to locate the ASO valve and address any airlock issues.
H2: Water Appearance and Odor Issues
H3: Milky Colored Water
Milky water can be caused by air bubbles or a broken membrane. It is important to identify the source of the issue to ensure the RO system is functioning properly.
H3: Vibration Lines
Vibration lines in the water may be due to loose or improperly installed components. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 to identify potential problem areas and secure any loose parts.
H3: Leaks
Leaks can occur at any connection point or due to missing O-Rings. Thoroughly inspect all connections and seals to prevent water wastage and damage.
H3: Strange Water Taste and Smells
Unpleasant taste or smell in the RO water may indicate a problem with the filters or the membrane. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of filters can help avoid these issues.
