RO question: Waste water doesn't stop
- Thread starter oz
- Start date
I just saw this thread and have a similar problem with mine. I bought mine through Air, Water & Ice, hooked it up, been running for about a month and it still seems to drip constantly on the waster end. No booster, but have a float valve on my make-up water container.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
#1 I bought a backup of the piece mentioned
#2 I have not replaced it because I can get it to "self correct" (I hate that concept) by shutting the incoming water off for a day. Usually I also backflush the system at the same time but I think the "fix" is more in shutting off the incoming water. I bought the replacement shutoff at the recommendation of the vendor when it first started happening (less then 6 months after purchase). The system is now somewhere around 4 years old and I have not installed the replacement but have had to shut down the input side every couple of months. I suspect the issue is pressure related and it may be that you need to open up the output side with the input side off as well (we have our connected to a float too so this is likely happening without me thinking about it).
