Kent RO/DI HI-S 60 GPD issue.

[Tom Boucher]

Hi.

Back in the hobby after abouta 5 year hiatus. I just picked up a Kent
RO/DI Hi-S 60 GPD water filter and have been trying to fill my new 75
Gallon tank.

It's ran all night and barely put an inch of water level into the tank.

The filter has a pressure guage and a TPS guage and the pressure gauge
is at about 2.5, water temp is maybe around 55 degrees.

Water output is a drip from the blue tube, and a steady stream from the
waste tube.

At first the pressure guage was at one but the blue tube was spraying
water out and I knew that wasn't right. I used to do my water with a 24
gbd regular maxxima and got better flow than this.


Any suggestions?

Water too cold and pressure too low. You probably need a pump to increase the pressure. Connecting it to a hot water supply might increase the
production.
