If your RO system is making vibrating or clicking noise please follow the troubleshooting steps below:
Clicking Noise: Since the RO system uses water pressure to run, the system and the tubing will be under pressure after the system has filled the tank. Once you start dispensing water from the system faucet, the system will turn on to begin the process of refilling the tank. Because the system is under pressure, this can cause the tubing to jump and hit against the inside of the cabinet or the side of the system, which is what is causing the clicking noise. To prevent this clicking noise, you can shorten the length of the system tubing to reduce movement when the system is turned on.Vibrating or Humming Noise: Air bubbles can accumulate in the system which causes a vibrating or humming sound from the system when it is running. To remove the trapped air bubbles please complete the following:
- Turn off the tank ball valve.
- Tilt the RO system at a least a 45 degree angle so that only the stage 1 filter housing is touching the floor. Tilting the system helps remove the accumulated air bubbles.
- Keeping the system tilted, turn on the system faucet and let water run from the faucet for 1 minute and then turn off the system faucet.
- Wait 20-30 seconds and repeat the previous step 3-4 times.
