## Kem Cho, Morbi & Rajkot! Dilipbhai Here to Help You Fix Your RO Purifier
Is your home RO purifier suddenly taking 20 to 30 minutes just to fill a simple 1-liter bottle? Is the water coming out in a tiny trickle instead of a steady stream? You are not alone. Here in Morbi and Rajkot, low water pressure and slow flow rate are among the most common complaints I hear from customers visiting **Shivam Water Solution**.
My name is **Dilipbhai**, and for over 10 years, I have been selling, installing, repairing, and servicing domestic RO systems and commercial RO plants across Vajepar, Ravapar Road, Shanala Road, Trajpar, and neighboring areas in Rajkot district.
Due to our unique geography and heavy industrial activity, water quality in Morbi—especially groundwater from borewells—often carries high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) ranging from 1,200 PPM to over 3,000 PPM. This heavy mineralization takes a toll on your water filter components. In this guide, I will walk you through why your RO purifier is running slow and how we fix it!

## Why Does Your RO Water Purifier Flow Slowly?
A standard domestic Reverse Osmosis system requires adequate water pressure (typically between 40 to 80 PSI) to push raw water through a semi-permeable membrane. When any part of this system gets clogged, worn out, or damaged, water pressure drops, resulting in a slow drop-by-drop output.
Here are the **top 5 reasons** behind low pressure in Morbi and Rajkot homes:
### 1. Clogged Pre-Filter Candle (Sediment Filter)
In areas near Morbi's ceramic industrial belts and residential colonies, ground water contains heavy silt, clay, and fine sand. The outer pre-filter housing catches these larger particles first.
* **The Problem:** If you haven't changed your outer pre-filter candle in 2 to 3 months, it turns dark brown or black and blocks incoming water.
* **The Fix:** Inspect the outer clear filter bowl. If the white candle looks thick with mud, replace it immediately. It costs very little and protects your internal filters.
### 2. Hard Water Scaling on the RO Membrane
Our water in Gujarat is notoriously hard, rich in calcium and magnesium salts.
* **The Problem:** Over time, these mineral salts crystallize on the delicate surface of the RO membrane pores (which are as tiny as 0.0001 microns). Once clogged by scale, water cannot pass through efficiently.
* **The Fix:** If your membrane is over 12 to 18 months old and TDS is high, flushing may not be enough. The membrane needs replacement with an authentic high-TDS membrane rated for 2,000+ PPM water.
### 3. Weak or Failing RO Booster Pump
Without good pressure, reverse osmosis cannot happen.
* **The Problem:** The booster pump creates the required force. Due to continuous usage or voltage fluctuations, pump heads wear down or lose motor power. If your pump produces less than 60 PSI, pure water flow will drastically drop.
* **The Fix:** A technician needs to measure the pump pressure using a gauge. At Shivam Water Solution, we repair pump heads or replace the booster pump with durable copper-winding units.
### 4. Depressurized Storage Tank (For Hydro-Pneumatic Models)
If your RO purifier has a sealed metal or plastic tank under the sink:
* **The Problem:** These tanks use an internal air bladder to push water up to your tap. Over 1–2 years, the air pressure inside the tank bleeds out.
* **The Fix:** Using a bicycle pump and pressure gauge, recharge the tank air valve to around 6 to 8 PSI when the tank is empty. If water spills from the air valve, the internal bladder is ruptured, and the tank needs replacement.
### 5. Faulty Solenoid Valve (SV) or Clogged Carbon Block
The Solenoid Valve controls water flow electronically when the machine turns ON or OFF. If the SV is partially stuck or clogged with debris, it restricts water flow into the pump. Similarly, choked activated carbon filters block flow and impart a stale taste.

## Quick DIY Troubleshooting Checklist for Homeowners
Before calling for a repair technician, run through these quick checks:
1. **Check Raw Water Valve:** Make sure the main inlet supply tap connected to your kitchen line is fully open.
2. **Inspect the Pre-Filter:** Look at the outer bowl filter. Is it dirty?
3. **Check Drain Water Flow:** Look at the RO waste water pipe. Is waste water flowing freely while pure water is slow? If waste water is also slow, the issue is before the membrane (Inlet valve, pre-filter, or pump). If waste water is flowing fast but pure water is a trickle, your membrane is likely choked.
4. **Check Tank Weight:** Is the storage tank heavy with water, but nothing comes out of the faucet? That indicates an air pressure issue in the tank.
