5) Water tubing connection is leaking on the system
If you are experiencing a water leak from any of the tubing connections on the reverse osmosis system,
Please review the steps below to address the connection.
Please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Turn off the cold supply water to the system.
Step 2. Please verify the end plugs are removed prior to new system installation or filter replacement.
Step 3. Please push the water tubing into the quick connect fitting more securely. If this doesn’t
resolvethe issue, with the water turned off, please remove the tubing by pressing in on the
collet ring and make a clear cut on the outer tip of tubing, push the tubing into the fitting
securely and this should take care of the leak issue.
If the leak issue continues, please contact APEC technician for assistance.
4) Tank Takes Long Time To Fill (does not meet claimed GPD)
- Insufficient water pressure (below 50 psi for non-pump systems) —> Increase house water pressure or
add an appropriate pump to system.
- Low water temperature (below 77 degree F ) —> Increase house water pressure or add pump to com-
pensate for low (cold) water temperature.
Claimed GPD:
The claimed gallon per day (GPD) flow rate for each RO model is rated based on 60 psi input water
pressure at 77 degree F water temperature. At this standard water pressure and temperature, the RO
-Quick90 gpd system should make about 3.7 gal of filtered water per hour, the 4-gal tank should fill in
1-1.5 hours.
Lower water pressure and colder temperature will slow the system’s output to less than the claimed GPD
flow rate.
Please check your water pressure as the first step in determining the cause of slow flow rate
(low GPD)
.
3) Sluggish Flow At Dispensing Faucet
- Insufficient water pressure (see “RO Basics” for explanation) —> Check water pressure. If too low for this
chosen RO model, either increase your water pressure or add pump to RO system.
- Input water to RO is blocked —> Make sure Feed water valve is fully opened and unhindered.
- Tank not filled yet —> Wait until tank is more filled, takes 2-3 hours average.
- Low tank pre-charge pressure —> Raise tank pre-charge to 5-7 psi.
