5 Causes of Weak Water Flow from Water Filter Systems

A weak water filter can directly affect the use of pure water in your household, so what causes the water filter to run weak, and what is the solution?

Let's explore the situation of weak water filters and how to fix it with Karofi water filters through the article below!

Find out why the Karofi RO weak water filter flow

Water filters have now become an essential household item that cannot be missed in every family. With advanced RO technology that can remove up to 99.9% of impurities, dirt, or harmful substances in water, while adding essential minerals to the body.

Because of its usefulness, many households feel very inconvenienced when the water filter runs weak. There are 5 main reasons leading to the common problem of weak and slow water filters when using Karofi water filters.

Weak input water pressure

The operation principle of a water filter machine depends heavily on the input water pressure to separate impurities, dirt, and dissolved substances from the water. Therefore, if the input water pressure is too weak, the water will not be strong enough to push through the RO filter membrane, causing the filtration rate to be affected, the water level in the tank to be low, and the water filter runs weak.

If you encounter this problem, you need to check if the input water source is stable. If it is stable, you need to check the power source to see if the pump is weak or malfunctioning. If the cause is due to the pump or input water, you can fix it yourself by addressing the issues with the water supply and power source. But if the pump is broken, you need to get it repaired with the assistance of a technician!

Water leakage in the filter machine makes the water filter runs weak

Similar to the previous cause, if the input water source is unstable or leaking, it will cause a lack of water for the Karofi purifier to operate stably. This will reduce the filtration rate and the water purifier runs weak.

If this is the reason why the water filter machine is flowing slowly, you will need to check all water valves, faucets, and connections between the filters to detect any leakage points. If the leakage point is too large and you cannot fix it at home with simple operations like tightening valves or wrapping it with tape, you will need to replace it. Remember to turn off the power before checking to ensure maximum safety for yourself!

Clogged water filter cartridge

Clogging of the water filter cartridge is also one of the common reasons for weak water flow in a water filtration system. After a period of use, the water filter cartridge will show signs of accumulating dirt and impurities, making it difficult for the filtered water to pass through the filter mesh. If this problem occurs in the pre-filter cartridge, the water flowing to the RO membrane will be weak, and the pressure will not be enough to push the water through the membrane. This leads to a decrease in filtration efficiency, and the amount of water flowing into the storage tank is significantly reduced.

To deal with this root cause, you can clean the filter cartridge yourself. However, to ensure the best water filtration quality, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge with a new one. Please be extremely careful and thoroughly check to avoid buying cheap, used components to avoid incurring high costs later.

An empty or damaged pressure tank

Another cause behind the RO membrane is the pressure tank. If the pressure tank of the water filtration system shows signs of leakage, or puncture, or is out of compressed air, the water flow will be weak. At this point, you can only contact technical staff to repair the leak, recharge the air, or replace the tank to ensure a clean water supply for your family!

The water filter valve is clogged or damaged.

One possible cause for this problem is a clogged or damaged water valve. After using the RO filter for a while, the water pressure can become too strong and cause the valve to crack. Additionally, the valve can become clogged due to accumulated dirt or debris, or from small errors during installation, leading to decreased lifespan and performance.

To address this issue, you may need to replace the valve. However, it's important to seek the assistance of a technician to ensure proper installation and avoid costly mistakes in the future.
