Just had mine installed two nights by a plumber and every symptom you describe applies directly. I’ve left him a message to return and check the flow restrictors and tank pressure. Side note: I also have a whole house filtration system that is iffy at best. My drinking water looks like weak pee and the company that installed the system offered to clear up the water colt by installing yet another tank for tannins……to the tune of $6500. Even not operating quite correctly this RO system has cleared the water color completely for less than $600.

Thanks for watching, this RO system has been great. We did our best to make some helpful videos on this specific system. Below is a link to our reverse osmosis system Playlist. kzfaq.info/sun/PLjCXOz8TSkZlQnBuZZrgOiwjkvAkXc_Ov Hope this helps and spending that $6,500 is a bit much…😬

You mentioned a frog sound was something else- mine is making that sound - any tips or ideas what is causing it?

So I have the same system in the video. My tank is holding water but the air gap keeps getting louder and louder. For reference we have a whole house filter and water softener on our house line before the RO. Anything I can do to quiet it down?

Thanks for watching, makes it easier having the exact same unit. 😁 How long have you had system installed and in operation? If air-gap begins to get louder and louder as well as begin making sounds similar to a frogs croak, filters and membrane are almost always to blame. Below is a link to our (RO Playlist) which contains several videos you may find helpful including how to properly and safely replace filters and membrane. kzfaq.info/sun/PLjCXOz8TSkZlQnBuZZrgOiwjkvAkXc_Ov 😎👍

Hello there, I wanted to know, if i don't connect the drain inlet and outlet under the air gap faucet and have the RO drain connected directly to the ABS, will water come out of the inlet and outlet port once the system is active, thanks!

Thanks for watching, can’t answer confidently as we haven’t installed it in that manner however likely yes. The system will need to drain water as it separates the clean from the dirty. 😎👍

I just had a newer one installed about eight weeks ago. I am getting a vibration sound when it's not running water. Sounds like my garage disposal is running...🤔 I don't hear it all the time but it does it quite frequently, daily I would say. No leaks, can't see any leaks or moisture, can't feel any air pressure coming out anywhere. 🤣 sounds amazingly stupid I know, but any ideas...?

Thanks for watching, we recommend double checking that your cold water shutoff valve is in the full open position. A valve thats slightly closed will cause your exact issue.

Hi. I enjoyed the video. I have the same system. It's about 3 months old and is now making a bunch of noise (but the tank still fills). I was going to try replacing the flow control but cannot find it readily available anywhere (Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon). Any leads on where I can find it? (There are GE part suppliers online who want $15+ for it and it will take a while to get. I'm looking for a better option.) Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, it’s most likely your filters. Replacing filters should solve issue. Below is a link to our video showing this friendly DIY project. Your membrane should still be A-ok. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqt0e6xhybHTep8.html 😎👍

@@Coach.Dave.Polsky Being only 3 months old, you will be fine with replacing just filters however spending the extra money on the membrane may help piece-of-mind having all 3 brand new moving forward into spring and summer. 😎👍

Could also be a faulty check valve letting water back through the system.

@@gingerbread-lover Thanks for the reply, filters should still be good but we definitely can’t rule it out as a possible cause. Is your tank filling with water? The reason we ask is because as the system is filling the tank with water, it is sending the filtered clean water to the tank, and the dirty water up through the air gap and out of the black drain line. It is normal to hear draining sounds as the system is filtering water and filling the tank. 👍

hi. if i fill 2 to 3 glass (each 3dl) with water the system starts to make a noise. it's like when you leav a tap open letting the water flow and as it slowly goes down the drain. my parents have a RO system just like mine but theirs never makes that sound. it goes on for like 5-10 minutes and then it stops. do you have any idea if thats normal and if not how to troubleshoot/solve the problem

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is the RO system new? Does the RO faucet have an air-gap on side located on & near bottom base? If so, this is 100% normal. Please keep us posted, us DIYers need to stick together!!! 😎👍

@@AfLpC Thanks for the reply, the air-gap is what causes this unique sound. Since your faucet does not have an air-gap, your system may be filled with air bubbles as it is making water. This is not uncommon as well and does not really hurt the system in any way. Not sure if your owners manual has purging instructions as part of the set-up. Purging your system may solve your issue. Below is a link to our video showing the purging process for our system. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ma6DocV4qpmrZqs.html 😎👍
