Frequently Asked Questions

Why there are many white bubbles in the water?
Normally for the first time use of the RO system, the water seems to have white bubbles in it, which is normal and drinkable. This is because when the pump is pressurizing the water, it will pressurize the air at the same time. It will make the air molecules smaller, thus the solubility further increases. The air can’t be released at that time because of the pressure in the RO system. However, when you turn on the tap to get a cup of water, the pressure of air is released. So you will see a huge number of bubbles in the water. It looks cloudy and white, but they are just bubbles. After you put the water still for a while, all bubbles will be gone, the water is totally good for drinking.

Why TDS is higher at the beginning, but back to normal range after about one minute?
Osmosis is a natural phenomenon that happens in all RO systems, no matter if you have a conventional RO system or a tankless RO system. When the RO system starts to work, pressure from the pump overcomes natural osmotic pressure, forcing feed water through the RO membrane that removes the impurities. When the RO system stops working, the pump stops offering pressure as well. At that time, because of different concentrations, a small fraction of ions will enter into pure water and cause TDS to rise by a small amount. However, even if the TDS reading is a little high at the beginning, the quality of water is still unbeatable by any other filtration methods including carbon, KDF, ceramic, UF, UV, etc. The water is totally good to drink and you don’t have to wait for about 1 minute to get the water, since the whole system will not release any harmful substances into the water. The TDS removal rate for PD800 is about 94-95%, if your incoming TDS is high, the outlet TDS will be high too.

Why does the TDS tester pen show a higher result than the TDS number displayed on the PD800?
It is because the TAM4 filter, the post filter, adds the minerals to the water. Normally the TAM4 will increase the TDS by 10-30 ppm. If the system has been used for a while, the TAM4 will restore more minerals to the water, and at that time the water will be very good, and the PH level will be more than 9.

How does the TDS display on the machine work?
When the system is running, the TDS sensor in the PD800 will keep testing the water quality every 1 minute. Therefore, the TDS result you see from the machine is from the last test memory. If you want to have the real-time TDS result, please let the machine run for about 1 minute.

If I don’t want to use the TAM4, how should I disconnect it?
You don’t have to disconnect the tubing and the fittings on the TAM4. You only need to unscrew the TAM4 filter and the water still can go through.

My granite is thicker than 1.5 inches and the faucet stem is not long enough, what should I do?
Please feel free to contact us to claim a longer thread stem. Simply email us your order ID, full name, shipping address, and contact phone number for delivery. We will arrange the shipment for you ASAP.

Why the system does not work after connecting the power cord?
Maybe you have plugged the power cord into the socket specially designed for garbage disposal, please change to another socket.
