RO Unit will not auto shutoff (bad check valve?)

Recommended Posts

Well, my RO unit was working fine until last week and I noticed no pressure at the sink tap. went to the basement and the waste was running full blast. I figured the pressure valve went bad, so I ordered a replacement. It arrived today and I installed it, the waste still flows when I have my output shutoff. So I inspected the check valve, and it appears to be operational, but I don't know for sure (don't have the extra parts to be able to test it). Anyone know where to find the RO unit fitting locally? I don't recall seeing a check valve at Lowes or home depot. Or better yet does anyone have any ideas would be wrong? TIA

found the problem i think. my sediment filter was not seated properly so both carbon blocks plugged quickly. I replaced the filters but it is still not shutting off, so who knows. I replaced the check valve too. Now all I can figure is that the plugged carbon blocks may have allowed chlorine to get to the RO membrane and destroyed it?? I don't know. I guess that is next to replace... sheesh...
