Weather and RO water system.

Location, Home, CA

The weather certainly has been curious this week. We had 0.8 inch of rain earlier in the week which I don’t think was forecast, at least not in the amount we received. Since then we have had intermittent sprinkles most days. As soon as you think it is safe to go out, it sprinkles. It is supposed to do this again next week.

I have worked on the reverse osmosis water system which supplies filtered water to 2 sinks via a third faucet in each and the icemaker. All the filters needed replacing so I ordered them on-line. I also wanted to separate the ice maker from the faucets as each has its own secondary filter. There in was the problem. I couldn’t get water from the faucets after making some changes so rightly surmised that something wasn’t connected right. Further inspection this morning validated that assumption.

Part of the problem involved the placement of filters and connections to the water lines. All of this was behind a rather full water softener. I did eventually move the softener, again, and make the necessary correct connections. Then it was a matter of finding all the leaks which only occurred one at a time of course. Frustrating!!!
