How to fix no or low water production in Ispring RCC1UP-AK Water Filtration Systems?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System is producing no or low water, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the feed water valve is turned on. If not, turn it on. Next, check that the tank valve is also turned on. Finally, inspect the tubing for any kinks and straighten them if necessary.
What to do if my Ispring Water Filtration Systems has low water production?
If you're experiencing low water production with your Ispring Water Filtration System, several factors could be responsible. Start by following the recharging tank procedure to address potential storage tank issues. Clogged filters can also restrict water flow, so consider replacing them. Check for any kinked tubing and straighten it out. Lastly, a clogged flow restrictor can also cause low production, so replace it if necessary.
Why does the drain water never shut off on my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System's drain water never shuts off, it could be due to several reasons. The auto shut-off valve might be worn out and need replacement. The valve might also be becoming ineffective, requiring you to follow the tank recharging procedure. Insufficient pressure in the storage tank may also be the cause, so try increasing the feed water pressure. If the water supply pressure is near 45 psi or below, there isn't anything you can do. Clogged filters due to cold water temperature can also cause this issue, so consider replacing the filters.
How to fix a leak at the filter housing of Ispring RCC1UP-AK?
If you notice a leak at the filter housing of your Ispring Water Filtration System, first ensure that the housing is properly tightened. If the leak persists, check the O-ring for damage or misalignment; realign or replace it as needed. If the housing has cracks, it will need to be replaced.
How to repair a leak at fitting thread on Ispring RCC1UP-AK Water Filtration Systems?
If you find a leak at a fitting thread in your Ispring Water Filtration System, first ensure it is properly tightened, using Teflon tape if necessary. If the fitting is cracked, it needs to be replaced.
Why does my Ispring Water Filtration Systems have bad-tasting water?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System water tastes bad, discharge water from the tank to flush the system. Also, check the tubing connection against the flow diagram to ensure it's correct.
Why is the water from my Ispring Water Filtration Systems milky or cloudy?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System produces milky or cloudy water, this is normal due to air in the system and filters. Continue using it for 2 weeks.
What causes vibrating noise in Ispring Water Filtration Systems?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System is making vibrating noise or very loud high pitch noise, the noise may be coming from the auto shut-off valve. If the noise is too unbearable, the valve should be replaced.
Why is my Ispring RCC1UP-AK Water Filtration Systems making noise from drain?
If your Ispring Water Filtration System is making noise from the drain, it may be because the saddle valve is mounted too high. Lower the saddle valve. Keep in mind that waste water to drain is normal when the system is making water, and the drain should stop when the storage tank is full.

This document serves as an installation and owner's manual for iSpring Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Systems, providing comprehensive guidance for setup, operation, and maintenance. The system is designed to provide high-quality drinking water by reducing total dissolved solids (TDS) and other contaminants.
The iSpring Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System is a multi-stage water purification device that utilizes reverse osmosis technology to produce clean, potable water. The process begins with source water entering the system and passing through a series of pre-filters (stages 1, 2, and 3). These pre-filters are crucial for removing larger particles, chlorine, tastes, and odors, thereby protecting the delicate RO membrane. A Low Pressure Switch, located between the pre-filters, activates the system when the incoming water pressure is 7 PSI or greater.
Following pre-filtration, the water proceeds to the Booster Pump, which increases the water pressure to approximately 80 PSI. This elevated pressure is essential for efficient reverse osmosis. The pressurized water then enters the RO membrane housing, where the core purification takes place. The RO membrane, a thin-film composite with microscopic pores (.0001 micron), forces water molecules through while rejecting dissolved solids and other impurities. The system includes a 'wet' RO membrane, vacuum-sealed with pure water, indicating it's ready for immediate use upon installation.
The RO membrane produces two streams: pure water and waste water. The pure water exits through a one-way Check Valve and is routed to a pressurized storage tank. The waste water, containing the rejected contaminants, is directed to the drain line, where a Flow Restrictor limits its outflow to maintain optimal pressure within the system.
The storage tank accumulates purified water. As the tank fills, its internal pressure rises. A High Pressure Switch monitors this pressure, turning on when the tank pressure is below 20 PSI and turning off when it reaches 35 PSI (indicating a full tank). When both the Low Pressure Switch and High Pressure Switch are on, a Feed Water Solenoid Valve opens, allowing water to flow to the Booster Pump, initiating the purification cycle. When the tank is full, the High Pressure Switch turns off, deactivating the booster pump and the entire system.
When the user opens the RO faucet, purified water flows from the storage tank, passes through a post-carbon filter (stage 5, FT15), and is dispensed. The post-carbon filter acts as a final polishing stage, further enhancing the taste and odor of the water. As water is drawn from the tank, the pressure gradually drops, eventually triggering the High Pressure Switch to restart the system and refill the tank.
Optional stages, such as Alkaline, DI, or UV filters, may be pre-installed on some models (6-stage or 7-stage systems). An Auto Flush Solenoid Valve (ASOF7) automatically flushes the RO membrane to preserve its life and efficiency. A Flow Sensor Switch (FSS) is used with UV filters to activate the UV light only when water is flowing, conserving energy and extending bulb life.
The iSpring RO system is designed for under-sink installation, providing convenient access to purified water directly from a dedicated RO faucet. The system includes a 4-color tubing set for easy identification and connection of different water lines: red for feed water, black for drain water, yellow for the tank, and blue for the RO faucet. Quick-connect fittings simplify tubing connections, requiring a simple push-in and securing with a blue lock clip. Compression fittings are used for connecting PVC tubing to threaded metal inlets, such as refrigerator water inlets.
Installation involves several key steps:
The system is designed to operate within specific conditions: minimum water pressure of 30 PSI, maximum water pressure of 70 PSI (a pressure regulator is recommended if higher), and an operating water temperature range of 40 – 100 °F. It is not designed for hot water. The maximum TDS for source water is 750 ppm.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the iSpring RO system. The manual provides a filter cartridge replacement schedule and instructions for changing filters and the RO membrane.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues like zero water output, tank not filling, leaks, low water flow, high TDS in RO water, cloudy water, continuous drain, and pump malfunctions. It emphasizes the importance of verifying tubing connections, O-ring placement, and proper tightening of components. The system is certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for TDS reduction, and users are encouraged to periodically test TDS levels to ensure proper performance. An included Flood Alarm provides additional peace of mind.
