TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem
Cause Solution
1. Low/Slow Production
Low Water Pressure
Assure a minimum of 40 psi incoming water pressure.
Premier sells a booster pump if home water pressure is
low. Maker sure water supply is turned on and Adapta

Crimps in tubing
Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary.
Clogged
pre-fi lters
Replace pre-fi lters.
Fouled membrane
Replace membrane and fl ow restrictor.
2. Milky colored Water
Air in system
Air in the system is a normal occurrence with initial
start up of the RO system. This milky look will
disappear during normal use within 1-2 weeks. If
condition
reoccurs
after
fi lter change, drain tank 1 to 2
times.
3. Water constantly

Caused from dishwasher or garbage disposal.
Disconnect the 3/8” black line at the drain, clean the
3/8” black line out with a wire, then reconnect. Blowing
air through the line will not always remove the clog.
5. Small amount of water in

Low water pressure
See #1 above.
To much air in tank
Tank air pressure should be 5 psi when empty of water.
If below 5 psi add air or bleed if above 5 psi.
Check only when tank is empty of water.

7. Low water fl ow from faucet
Check air in tank
Use a Digital Air Gauge for best results. The empty
tank pressure should be 5-7 psi. To reset the air pressure
in the tank turn off water supply and drain tank by
opening faucet. When water stops fl owing out of the
faucet. Remove schrader valve cover pump air into
tank
until
water
stops
fl owing from the faucet. Release
the air out of the schrader valve until you reach 5-7 psi.
Replace
