Kem cho, Morbi and Rajkot! I am **Dilipbhai**, owner of **Shivam Water Solution** at Vajepar Main Road, Morbi. Over the past 10+ years, I have personally installed, serviced, and repaired thousands of domestic RO purifiers and commercial RO plants across Saurashtra.
One of the most frequent complaints I hear from homeowners in Morbi—whether from Ravapar Road, Shanala Road, or near the ceramic industrial belts—as well as clients in Rajkot, is: *"Dilipbhai, our RO tank takes hours to fill! Water is only coming out in thin drips. What is wrong?"*
A slow-flowing RO tap is frustrating, especially when your family needs clean drinking water during peak morning hours. In this guide, I will walk you through why your RO purifier suffers from low water pressure and how you can identify and solve the problem.

## Why Water Pressure Drops in Domestic RO Purifiers
In Morbi and Rajkot, our water sources heavily rely on borewell water mixed with municipal supply. Ground water TDS in many parts of Morbi routinely crosses **1,200 to 2,500 PPM**, carrying high mineral hardness and silt. This unique water chemistry accelerates wear and tear on water purifiers.
Here are the top 5 culprits behind slow water flow in your home RO unit:
### 1. Clogged Pre-Filters and Carbon Filters
The pre-filter spun candle (housed outside the main RO unit) acts as the first shield against sand, rust, and clay. In Morbi, mud and fine red soil frequently clog this filter within 2 to 3 months. When the pre-filter gets choked, water cannot reach the internal pump with adequate force.
### 2. Scaled or Exhausted RO Membrane
The semi-permeable membrane has microscopic pores (0.0001 microns). High hard-water content in Rajkot and Morbi leads to calcium scaling over the membrane surface. Once clogged with mineral buildup, purified water production drops from a steady stream to a slow drip.
### 3. Weak RO Booster Pump
An RO membrane requires a minimum water pressure of **60 to 80 PSI** to push water molecules through its pores. If your RO booster pump's SMPS power supply fails or the pump head valves wear out, the pressure drops sharply. You will hear the pump motor running, but water will barely trickling out.
### 4. Low Pressure in the Storage Tank (Hydrostatic Tanks)
If your RO system uses a pressurized metal or plastic storage tank, it relies on an internal air bladder to push water up to your faucet. Over 1–2 years, this tank can lose air pressure. Even if the tank is full of water, it feels heavy but fails to push water out of the tap.
### 5. Bent or Kinked RO Food-Grade Tubing
Sometimes the fix is remarkably simple! During cleaning or under-sink movement, the flexible white tubing behind the RO unit can get twisted or pinched, cutting off water flow.

## Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide by Dilipbhai
Before calling a technician, you can perform these safe visual checks yourself:
1. **Check Incoming Supply:** Verify that the main feed valve connecting your overhead tank/tap to the RO inlet is fully open and that there is sufficient water pressure in your home pipeline.
2. **Inspect the Pre-Filter Candle:** Look at the transparent pre-filter housing outside your unit. If the spun filter has turned dark brown or black, it needs an immediate replacement.
3. **Check for Tube Kinks:** Pull the purifier slightly forward and inspect all connections from the inlet valve to the storage tank.
4. **Drain Test:** Turn off the power switch, close the tank valve, turn on the RO power again, and disconnect the pure water line entering the tank. If pure water flows out in a steady thin stream, the issue lies in the storage tank's air pressure.
