1 Faucet is leaking water
- Phenomena:
At the faucet, water leaks continuously while the water intake valve is not opened.
- Reason:
Because when installing, you tighten the screws too tightly , causing the faucet to be dislodged. In addition, improper locking of joints also causes leakage.
- How to fix:
You use it to adjust the faucet lock, check the faucet connection screw. If the screw is too tight, loosen it.
2 Rubber gasket is misaligned, not installed, or damaged, missing
- Phenomena:
Water is leaking at the filter cup of the machine, at this time the water will flow out and continue to flow down to the tripod.
- Reason:
In the position of deviation or incomplete installation , it is also possible that it will be lost during installation or replacement of the filter element, causing water to leak outside.
- How to fix:
You check to see if the rubber gasket is deformed or lost or is too old. If there is a condition mentioned above, you should immediately adjust or replace it !
3 Couplings between lead wire and filter system are loose
- Phenomena:
At the joints (knots) between the conductor and the filter system, leakage occurs.
- Reason:
When using a water purifier for a long time, due to the force of the joints between the wire and the filter system, they also loosen themselves and cause water leakage.
- How to fix:
To secure the joints, re-tighten them. During the inspection, if the coupling is found to be the wrong size or damaged, then proceed to replace it.
4 The filter element is clogged with the elasticity of the rubber gasket reduced
- Phenomena:
Water leaks under the tripod and does not filter clean water while the machine is still operating normally.
- Reason:
When the filter element is blocked , the water cannot escape, while the filter pump is still working. At the same time, the rubber gasket is subjected to a strong water pressure, along with the elasticity of the gasket becoming less and less over time, causing water leakage.
- How to fix:
You need to check and clean immediately, if you want to be more sure, you should replace the water filter element periodically, so that the water is clean and safe to use.
5 Being bitten by an insect or an animal
- Phenomena:
There is a leak in the water line part.
- Reason:
It is caused by being bitten or bitten by an animal (rat, dog, cat, …) or maybe by being bumped when moving the machine , due to the pressure being too strong to cause water to leak.
- How to fix:
You check the wires, if the bite is small, use a rubber band to wrap around the conductor . If the bite is severe or large, you should replace the lead wire with a new one.
6 The pump of the water purifier has a problem
- Phenomena:
of the filter works weakly or at the pump part, there is a water leak.
- Cause :
It is possible that the time of operation and use of the machine is too long , leading to the rubber gasket of the water pump also reducing its elasticity significantly, causing the machine to leak water.
- How to fix:
In this case, you need to contact the pump repair and maintenance center for the best support.
3 Some notes on using a water purifier to avoid leaking water
- Do not let the inlet water pressure be too large or too weak: Because if the water pressure running through the filter is not stable, it will cause water leakage or blockage.
- Replace the core periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendations: Depending on the type of filter element, there will be a different specified time, especially for the quality filter element that has not been tested.
- Regularly monitor and check the filter element and accessories: Specifically, accessories for wires, filter cups, faucets, connectors, …
- Get the support of a technician if you don't have the expertise: To save costs and shorten the time to fix, call a professional instead of fixing it yourself.
Hopefully the information shared above will help you understand the cause and how to fix the water purifier leaking water while in use. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below!
