      If your WaterGeneral Water System isn't producing enough water, first ensure the feed water valve and the tank valve are fully open. Also, check for any kinks in the tubing that might be restricting the flow. If the feed water valve is not turned on, turn it on. If the tank valve is not turned on, turn it on. If the tubing is kinked, straighten the tubing.

      Lawrence SharpAug 6, 2025
      If you notice a leak at the filter housing of your WaterGeneral Water System, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure the housing is properly tightened. If the leak persists, inspect the O-ring for damage or misalignment; realign or replace it if necessary. Finally, check the housing itself for cracks, and replace it if any are found. If the housing is not tighten, tighten it. If the O-ring is damaged or misaligned, re-aligned it or replace. If the housing has cracks, replace it.

    What to do if only small amount of water comes out of WaterGeneral Water System RO faucet?
    • A
      Ashley KruegerAug 14, 2025
      If only a small amount of water comes out when you turn on the RO faucet of your WaterGeneral Water System, lift the tank to check its weight. If it feels heavy, recharge the tank following the recharge procedure. If it feels light, the water either isn't going in or the system isn't making water.

    Why does my WaterGeneral RO 585 water taste bad?
    • K
      Kristine AndradeAug 18, 2025
      If your WaterGeneral Water System is producing bad-tasting water, it might be because the system hasn't been fully flushed yet, so discharge water from the tank. Another possibility is an incorrect tubing connection, so check the flow diagram to ensure everything is connected properly.

    Why is my WaterGeneral Water System making noise from drain?
    • K
      Katelyn SmithAug 22, 2025
      If you're hearing noise from the drain of your WaterGeneral Water System, it might be because the saddle valve is mounted too high. Lowering the saddle valve might help. Note that when the system is making water, waste water going to the drain is normal. The drain should stop when the storage tank is full.

    Why is WaterGeneral RO 585 water milky or cloudy?
    • A
      angelaperryAug 27, 2025
      If the water from your WaterGeneral Water System appears milky or cloudy, it's likely due to air in the system or filters. This is normal, so continue using it for 2 weeks.
