1. Feed water pressure is too low (40 psi or lower)
2. Feed water temperature is too cold. Nothing you can do about this one.
3. Pressure in the storage tank or the unit is too low. You may need to drain and recharge the system again.
4. Filters are clogged.
5. Faulty or worn auto shutoff valve.
1. I'm running at about 45psi to get a 1:3 product water:waste water ratio

2. Why would this matter exactly, it was working properly in my current house for over a year?

3. I'm running a float valve in a trash can, the float valve is stopping the flow when the can is full

4. The RO is only about 6 months, I could probably change the DI, carbon and sediment block but which ones would cause this and why?

5. I replaced the shutoff valve and the check valve, I still have the same problem
