## Kem Cho, Morbi and Rajkot!
I am **Dilipbhai**, the proprietor of **Shivam Water Solution** located on Vajepar Main Road in Morbi. For over 10 years, I have been helping local families, ceramic factory units, and commercial offices get pure, safe drinking water. Over the years, one of the most common complaints I hear from homeowners across Morbi and Rajkot is: *"Dilipbhai, my RO water purifier is dripping so slowly! It takes 20 minutes just to fill one bottle. What is wrong?"*
If you are facing this exact problem, don't worry. In our region—where water sources often range from high TDS borewell water to municipal supply mixed with heavy mineral salts—slow RO water flow is a very common issue. Today, I am going to share my hands-on experience so you can understand why your RO purifier has low water pressure and what you can do about it.

## Why Is Your RO Water Flow So Slow?
Before jumping to conclusions, it helps to understand how a Reverse Osmosis system works. Water passes through multiple filtration stages: Pre-Filter, Sediment Filter, Pre-Carbon Filter, RO Membrane, Post-Carbon, and UV/UF stages. If any single component gets blocked or fails, your flow rate drops drastically.
Here are the top 5 reasons for low water pressure in domestic RO purifiers in Morbi & Rajkot:
### 1. Clogged Pre-Filter or Sediment Filter
In areas like Wankaner Road, Shanala Road, or Rajkot's Kalawad Road, ground water contains heavy sediments, dust, and rust particles. The outer pre-filter bowl catches these big particles. When it gets choked with mud, water cannot enter the internal RO filters efficiently, resulting in weak pressure.
### 2. High TDS Choking the RO Membrane
Morbi's ground water TDS often exceeds 1,500 to 2,500 PPM. Over time, calcium, magnesium, and dissolved salts form a hard scale layer over the microscopic pores of the RO membrane. When the membrane gets scaled or fouled, purified water flow drops down to a tiny trickle.
### 3. Weak RO Booster Pump
Every RO system requires a booster pump to push water through the semi-permeable membrane at high pressure (typically 60 to 80 PSI). If the pump motor weakens, the transformer (SMPS) delivers insufficient voltage, or the pump head loses compression, the water pressure drops, reducing pure water production.
### 4. Malfunctioning Solenoid Valve (SV) or Low Input Pressure
If your home’s overhead tank water pressure is too low, or if the Solenoid Valve (SV) is partially jammed with salt build-up, water flow into the purifier gets restricted.
### 5. Depressurized Air Tank (For Hydro-Pneumatic RO Models)
If you use an RO model with an under-sink storage tank, the tank relies on internal air pressure to push water out of your faucet. If the internal air bladder loses pressure, water won't come out fast, even if the tank is full!

## Dilipbhai's Step-by-Step DIY Troubleshooting Guide
Here is how you can check what is wrong with your RO unit before calling a technician:
1. **Check the Pre-Filter Candle:** Turn off the water supply, open the outer pre-filter housing using a spanner, and inspect the spun filter. If it looks dark brown or muddy black, replace it immediately. We recommend changing the outer pre-filter candle every 2 to 3 months in Morbi.
2. **Inspect Main Line Water Valve:** Ensure the main tap valve connected to your RO feed tube is fully open and not half-closed.
3. **Test Raw Water Supply Pressure:** Disconnect the inlet pipe entering your RO machine. Turn on the valve. If water flows out with strong force, the issue is inside the machine. If it is weak, your home’s main supply line needs attention.
4. **Listen to the Booster Pump:** Switch on the RO unit. Do you hear a smooth humming sound from the pump? If it makes a grinding noise, vibrates excessively, or stays completely silent, the pump or SMPS power adapter might need replacement.

## When Should You Call a Professional Technician?
While changing a basic pre-filter candle is easy, servicing internal components like the **RO membrane, high-pressure pump, auto-cut switch, or SMPS** requires proper tools, TDS meters, pressure gauges, and genuine spare parts.
If your RO filters haven't been replaced in over 12 months, or if your waste water is continuously running without pure water filling the tank, do not attempt heavy DIY repairs. Running a dry pump can burn out the motor or ruin new filters.
