SOLUTION

Substitution of tap.
Change joints.

Check condition of tap and if necessary substitute it.
Tighten or replace.
Check to see if there is sufficient teflon in the in-let valve or substitute it.
They are tightened too close to the wall. Do not have holding pins. They are 
in bad condition. (substitute them) or not pushed into connectors enough.

Wait until supply returns.
Check condition of coil and clean it. Change it, if necessary.
Change filter.
Change membrane. Check condition of restrictor.
If blocked, clean or substitute.
Clean or substitute.
Check supply in the house. Check the tension at the exit of the transformer. 
(if there isn’t any, change it).

Check system pressure, and where necessary put in pump and minimum 
pressure switch.
Open it.
Open it.
Check tank pressure and if necessary pressurise up to 7 PSI.
Check if water is coming out of the air valve.
Substitution of the same.
Look at flow of the post-filter outlet and if this is the case, substitute it.
If pinched, substitute the membrane.
Check production flow.
If there is very little, and pressure is good, substitute it.
Check that the pump generates between 6 and 7 Kg. /cm

2

 at the entrance 

of the membrane carrier. If this is not the case, substitute the head.
Check the flow of the restrictor, and if necessary substitute it.

Rejection and production may be connected. Substitute it.
Put in membrane.
Production and rejection connected. Substitute joints or membrane
Check system flow.

Production and rejection connected. Substitute membrane and/or joints.

Put in re-mineralising post-filter before closing.

Change post-filter.

Change filters, membrane and hygienisation.

Wait. There is no problem.
