I have a RO unit supposed to produce 100 GPD, but we use very little water. (drinking &amp; ice) I would like to use this unit because of noise. ?

This aids in production of RO water. It helps your system produce more water with less waste water. It also aids your system if you have lower pressure. The noise is really a non issue. I did not hard mount mine to a cabinet, helping with the noise even more. Unless you are standing alone, in the quiet kitchen, you really are not going to notice it.

SOLVED!! My RO system made a gurgling/dropping sound for several minutes each time I used it. Tried all the suggestions I found to no avail. I finally solved the problem... The drain line, going into the sink drain, had a low spot. (The drain line had a section that sloped upward to the sink drain). I shortened the tubing by a couple of inches so the drain line now only slopes down. Problem solved!!!!!

I would purge the system completely. The pump should make a coiling sound . Also invest in a tds meter. Does it taste worse that the tap water? If so you might have it plumbed backwards.

RO is known to remove salts and minerals which make the taste bland. I prefer not having RO because of the amount of water waste it takes to generate the pure water and the water needs to be stored in holding tank because the pressure and amount of on-demand water from RO systems does not compare to the tap. Tap is perfectly safe by itself. Personally I just think RO is a bit overboard unless you have a good reason to use it (i.e.: ground water, wells, fracking, etc)

That's what I have and before I got this I burned up 2 outdrive pumps because the single feed does not supply enough water. I have had no trouble since purchasing this unit.

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold waterUse cold water only!!

I am on well water and my UN t is operating fine. However, I run the unit until it turns itself off..so water is not sitting in unit. I would recommend you empty the reservoir when not in use.

This unit will produce about 4 gallons of water waste per gallon purified. To improve that ratio consider our permeate pump equipped model#TMULTRA-ERP. We also offer the HydroPerfection model#TMHP which adds our patented remineralization system. Also there is a FAQ that discusses water waste in more depth here: Do RO systems produce waste water, how much, and when? http://www.theperfectwater.com/waste-water.html

The machine is very quiet when running..a very low buzzing sound. Straight water in the tank works OK... Use the jewelry cleaner for better results. It depends how dirty the jewelry is as it might take a longer or multiple clean cycles.

Ours isn't circulating either. We filled to the water line and have a slight bubbling, but it barely works. Suggestions?

The only noise I hear is ice dropping to the tray. Best investment I ever made. I DO NOT use tap water like it says, I use bottled water. Our tap water would probably kill the machine in a month.

I read not to use distilled water. The minerals in your tap water help the "water low" sensor realize when to turn off the unit...

Use the cleaning disk to run plain water. I find two cycles gives me enough hot water for whatever other beverage I want.

My wife and I have a B60 and I bought a B40 for my mother. The B40 is much noisier than our B60. The pump on the inside of the units are vibrator diaphragm pumps and are going to make noise to some degree. Try making sure that your water reservoir is fully seated in the base and then try removing the reservoir cover while brewing; we found that the vibration of the pump is transmitted to the cover and it sounds like the unit is going to come apart.

Yes you can, a pump that is rated to pump 75-100 gallons per day is the norm. I do not know where you can purchase a reliable pump, but it will make your RO system works very efficient.

I had same problem!!! I returned it Amazon defective. If you've steady had it a while, contact amazon or monster. They might swap. I got another unit instead.

you can purchase components from this seller but an ro system only produces droplets at a time so you need a storage tank to accumulate any volume of water and to create pressure. i needed a greater voume for all of my needs so I connected two 75 gallon per day systems together. Bear in mind that the amount of water that you can use at any one time is limited by your storage system not the Gallon per day rating.
