I got a Watts pure h2o reverse osmosis system at menards for $200, worked great for six months but now stopped working.... trying to troubleshoot it. May need to represurize the tank with a bike pump/pressure gauge. ...sounds complicated but I need to be able to keep it running, wish me luck!
This is hilarious. I have the exact same system and just dealt with the exact same problem. I thought I would have to do the bike pump thing, but actually just had to fidget with the valves a few times and turn the water on/off. Checking the pressure won't hurt either, apparently supposed to be around 7psi. Good luck!
Thanks! Good to know. I'll do some fidgiting. Mine stopped working when drain hose got clogged from drain gak, but I cleaned it and still very low output.
Percussive maintenance has saved me from countless disasters lol. Had a hard drive at work fail on me and called an anon friend over for help. Motherfucker tried everything he could think of and before giving up said 'let me try something...'
He turned on the rig with the drive connected and just lightly tapped on it while the disc tried to spin up. It dislodged part of the broken drive enough to boot successfully. Got all my files that went years without a back up and saved me hours of tedious filing.
We found that putting a hard drive in a freezer for a couple hours often got it to work long enough to remove the critical data. No joke. Literally did this dozens of times...
(Obviously this is for SPINNING drives, not solid state...)
