  • RO reverse osmosis purified water equipment ten failures and maintenance methods
  • the switch is on, but the device does not start
  • Electrical line failure, such as bad insurance, wire fall off
  • The thermal protection element is not reset after protection
  • Solution:
  • Water undervoltage, check the insurance, check the wiring
  • The thermal protection element is reset
  • Check waterways to ensure water supply pressure
  • After the equipment is started, the water inlet solenoid valve is not opened
  • Cables are disconnected
  • The internal mechanical of the solenoid valve is faulty
  • The solenoid valve coil is broken
  • Solution:
  • Check the cable
  • Remove the solenoid valve for repair
  • Repair or replace the coil
  • pump operation, but not up to the rated pressure and flow
  • Pump reversal
  • The filter element of security filter is dirty
  • There is air in the pump
  • Flush the solenoid valve to open
  • Solution:
  • Reconnect cables
  • Clean or replace the filter element
  • Remove the air from the pump
  • Adjust the pressure after rinse
  • when the system pressure rises, the pump noise is large
  • The raw water flow is not enough
  • Raw water flow is unstable
  • Solution:
  • Check the original water pump and pipes
  • Check whether the original water pump and pipes leak
  • The solenoid valve is not closed after washing
  • The control component and circuit of the solenoid valve are faulty
  • The solenoid valve is faulty
  • Solution:
  • Check or replace components and circuits
  • Remove the solenoid valve and repair or replace it
  • under voltage stop
  • Raw water is in short supply
  • The security filter element is blocked
  • Improper pressure adjustment, automatic flushing caused by underpressure
  • Solution:
  • Check whether the raw water pump and pretreatment system are working
  • Clean and replace the filter element 3. Adjust the system pressure to the best state and maintain the post-filter pressure above 20psi
  • the concentrated water pressure is not up to the rating
  • Pipeline leaks
  • The flushing solenoid valve is not fully closed
  • The recycling system leaks
  • Solution:
  • Check and repair pipes
  • Check and replace the flushing solenoid valve
  • Check and repair the recovery system
  • the pressure is enough, but the pressure display is not in place
  • The pressure gauge hose is blocked with foreign bodies
  • There is air in the hose
  • The pressure gauge is faulty
  • Solution:
  • Check and unclog pipes

2. Air out

  • Replace the pressure gauge
  • the water quality is worse
  • Membrane contamination and scaling
  • The seal of the membrane junction fails due to aging
  • Solution:
  • Chemical cleaning shall be carried out according to technical requirements
  • Replace the O-ring
  • Replace the membrane
  • Decline in output
  • Chemical cleaning shall be carried out according to technical requirements for membrane contamination and scaling
  • Water yield is determined by recalculating the change of water temperature according to the actual water temperature.
