Your RO water purifier may lose the supply of water purifiers due to the loose electric connections. You can also check that your RO water purifier plug is inserted correctly.

3. Due To Lack Of Input Water Supply

Sometimes your water purifier does not receive input water. Thus it gives no response. In this condition, you need to check the divert valve. If your water purifier diverts valve is switched off, then your RO purifier machine will stop. Thus check for the divert valve. This valve is located near the tap.

4. Due To The Presence Of Air Vacuum Inside The RO System

This condition is very rare, but it may occur due to the loose-fitting. And due to the loose-fitting, your water purifier sucks the air due to which the RO water purifier stopped working. This condition may also occur due to the damaging of the pre-bowl filters. To resolve the issue, you can check for the loose connection and try to create a vacuum environment.

Generally, when the water purifier stops working when the internal storage tank gets full. The float valve present in the water purifier shut off the RO purifier so that the overflowing of the water purifier can be avoided. And when you pour out the water, the water level in the internal storage tank reduces as a result is a start working correctly. If your water purifier float valve is not working correctly, then it may lead to the loss of water purifier functionality.

To wash your RO filter, turn off the water purifier machine and open your pre-filters and wash it properly.

2. Pressure In The Storage Tank

You may experience a slow flow rate due to the pressure inside the water tank. Your water purifier demands for 7-8 psi pressure to flow water. To check the pressure, you need to locate the Schrader valve. This valve is the present bottom side of the tank. Once you find it, remove all water and measure the pressure by using a pressure gauge. If the pressure is less, then add air, but be careful while adding air as adding excess air may lead to the rupture of the air bladder.
