Reverse Osmosis System Troubleshooting

- www.tier1water.com/reverse-os... Aquaman explains how to troubleshoot and fix the two most common problems with RO systems. As reverse osmosis systems age, the reservoir tanks wear out and the bladder inside the tank fails causing the symptom of no water delivered to the faucet. Checking the pressure on the tank is easy and necessary to determine if the tank is still in good condition. ASO (automatic shut off) valve failure is another common issue with under sink RO systems. The symptom is continuous flow of water down the drain. Both issues are easy to verify and repair. Follow Aquaman's advice and you can inexpensively troubleshoot and repair your reverse osmosis drinking water filter system. Aquaman is a Water Quality Association Certified Water Specialist. His training and experience have given him a deep understanding of water chemistry and water purification equipment.

One of the only videos that perfectly describes how the system works. Top stuff!
This video truly helped me solve an issue with my RO. The water wouldn't stop running, checked the tank pressure and was able to fix it within a few minutes. Thank you!
Thank you for the lesson. I'm going to install one of these soon and I was clueless about how they operate. It is nice to have some idea of how they work. Very good presentation.
Great video, I am glad someone has the guts to tell us how much pressure to have when its empty.
So easy to understand! I wish all info videos were by this guy,all ?s answered THANK YOU
Thank you very much for making this video. We were going to replace the filters today. I found this video last night. We now know it is the bladder in the tank. You saved us time, money and frustration.
You are welcome.
How amazing are you aquamanwisdom. I live in a town about 45 minutes north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I have been having problems with my 7 stage system for a while. Got hold of the people who sold it to me, they are about 2 hours from me south of Brisbane, and tried to sort it with emails. I was having a hard time of it, could not understand what he was wanting me to do, so then I go looking on the net and find you. You explained it so well, I got a look at the hook up and could see it better. Had the drain feed going from the white exit not the green, here it's green, same tank, the different coloured tubes is a very good idea. Anyway, I think I have done it and thank you very much. If they had done an instruction video as they said I would have been fine.
Thanks again
Thank you so much for this video! I thought my RO just had an enlarged prostate, but you have relieved my fears.
I’d bet this guy didn’t know he’d be a super hero 7 years after posting this video lol.

Aqua-man has been around for decades and also member of the Justice League of America alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. Not sure why he gave up super strength, durability, control over sea life, exceptional swimming ability, ability to breathe underwater to become a plumber (still has durability). However, I liked his description of the RO system particularly constant drain of water is due to faulty ASO valve. Many other YT videos don't really mention this.
A hero shows up when they are needed.
Thanks, exactly the info I needed! I had the super slow flow after about 1-2 years after the installation.
I disassembled the valve first and then the whole system wasting 2 hours of my time...
After watching your videoI gave a few pumps into the tank and the system started to work fine again.! 2 min.!:)
thank you for this detailed explanation and the video is 1080p back in 2011, impressive!
you are welcome.
Thank you,i've had a culligan ro system for 18 years and i change my filters myself every year and main membrane filter every 3 to 5 years and i did not know about the aso valve,but mine is fine because the water does not continuosly run.I appreciate your video,i love learning because knowing is power.Thank You very much!
Rats chewed a hole in the membrane, my regular serviceman has retired, so you came to the rescue. Thank you for showing me how the system works. I think I can fix it myself now.
very thorough explanation on how to troubleshoot the RO system
Great Video. Shot well. Good sound. Excellent information and I personally thank you for publishing it.
Wow, I am not handyman type person. You were able to explain to me without me feeling lost. Thank You very very much. My problem is the last problem. It is a brand new system. They RO ppl came yesterday and told me for this very same model you have , that it would take 6 hours for the pressure to build and then it would be available for water . I have very little water pressure.
Thank you so much for this! So clearly explained. Keep up the great work!
Excellent video to understanding RO systems. Thank you.
Beautifully put so Marines could understand. Thank you, sir.
You are welcome.
Awesome, awesome video! Thank you very much for this information. You not only provided abundant insight into the problem I am experiencing, but you also helped me to understand the physics of the RO system much better - all with perfect clarity. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video for diagnosing most problems with RO systems. Thank you Aquaman!
Glad it was helpful!
I actually got it working now. With my new confidence on how RO systems work after watching your videos, I began removing pre-filters to see if they were working properly. Turns out my Carbon Pre-Filter was defective and virtually no water was flowing through it. I replaced it and now everything is working perfectly with a huge increase in the water flow (before it was just drops)
When all other likely fixes failed, I looked at the unlikely ones. Thanks for the help - it is much appreciated.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks. Nicely done!
Best video I have seen to explain how this thing works and now I know my issue with my water filter system. Thank you sir
You are welcome.
Thanks, I was able to identify low pressure on my tank. Pumped it up and the constant running is solved. I have a dupont 3 cartridge system
Waterman you're my Hero, my tank had no pressure - slow water run, took your advice and added air to the bladder everything is working perfectly.
***Great Video ***
- if I saw this video before, I could off saved 40 bucks... thanks AGAIN!!!
Great to hear.
Explained my problems step by step. Thanks man
What a great teacher! Thank you!
Aquaman u rock! Great video thanks for the great information!
Thank you for posting this. Step number one should be the simplest which is check tank pressure, I can't tell you the amount of aggravation I have gone through trying to get my system to work again.
Dude! We definitely owe you a beer or two! Thanks for the video! Very well done!!! Bravo!
You're welcome.
Excellent video. Very clear and well-explained.

Good job Aqua-man!
Thanks hydro homie. Had no water coming out, no pressure in my tank, ordered a new $40 tank, got my water back.
You are very welcome.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for making it
Great video aqua man!
Better. RO systems love more pressure! Though with that much of an increase you will need to be certain you are taking good care of your O-rings. They will obviously be stressed much more under the greater pressure. Having said that, you will get much better production rates and higher TDS rejection.
Thank you, very helpful!
Thanks, this was very usefull
thanks so much it was really help full i am going to try it now
Thank you for the helpful video!

Really good explanation of how it works, I think I need an ASO valve!!! John. UK
Good luck!
Great video!
Easy to understand. Cover the pump on this I will be very grateful, tell also why we get high volume of brine water than permeate when ASOV is ok
Awesome! You gave me the answer I needed. Thanks!

Carrie Merlino Thank you for the comment! Glad to hear the video helped you out :)
Great video I just wish you had more troubleshooting vids. These are two problems but based on the comments there's quite a few more issues out there. Including mine which is the tank isn't filling with water.. I've seen other websites that mention this problem and say check this and check that. They're not clear like this vid was.

Thanks for this. You're good at explaining. I have a 10" filter with a 10" housing, but the filter became moldy because I couldn't screw it shut, it didn't go all the way down to the buttom(rounded off housing at the buttom, two different manufacturors. How is the water supposed to flow when the filter is inside the housing?
@aquamanwisdom it is a white residue that appears on top of the water in a glass and stays on the glass when it is empty, it is somewhat grainy and thought it looked like bubbles but its isnt.
Good Vid, Thanks!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Классное видео. Все понятно. Хоть мне это и не надо было)) молодец.
Wow, you provided great information in the video!
I have a Watts ZRO-4 and the Recirculation Pump seized. Then modified it with a ASO valve, and check valve between the membrane and GAC filter. The task piqued my interests, now I'm considering adding another housing at the end of pre-filters. E.g. a 5 micron coconut shell carbon cartridge, or a VOC Filter block. I just wonder if doing all that is unnecessary, considering the membrane does it too.
Hope you can help. Thanks for the helpful video!
I'm very intimidated in setting one of these up.
You Sir are very informative and have a gift of communicating with in- depth explanation. Thank you for educational video. I now know I need a tank and possibly a ASO valve. Hissing is only at certain times. I will change the tank and if I hear the ASO not shutting off I will replace. I just installed a PRV and had to reduce to 55 PSI from 85 PSI for Water distribution system for entire house. I believe the previous high pressure trashed the tank and possibly the ASO Valve. Question, before I replace either do you know what the PSI rating for tank and ASO Valve?
Tank You !
Thanks very good
Excellent vid, Aquaman! Thank you so much. :-)
Super helpful!! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@wooderson92 8-10 psi when empty, 35-40 when full of water.
Very good trouble shooting video.
THANK YOU This has been very helpful in some cases but I'm still having an issue. PLEASE HELP!!! I just changed all of the filters and the membrane but when I turn on the water there is no brine water coming out of the black tube nor can I flush the membrane even after I remove flow restrictor. I've checked and cleaned the membrane tube to make sure there was no clogging but it didn't help. UGH in tears!! Thank you.
