Calling All RODI Experts

[Mike Lemming]

Hey guys,
I just changed my sediment filter and now, my middle chamber isn’t filling up totally. There’s no leaks, I try to see if air was coming from anywhere but couldn’t. I’m stumped.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Trying to upload a video (see below). The machine gun sound is just the tubing taping against the door and the water going up, is when my well pump kicks on to give pressure.

Can anyone see the video? I made it private but was hoping the link would work..

You have to list it as public.

Mine did this for a little while I suspected the dry sediment filter needed some time to become fully saturated, my pressure was lower. Give it a few days leaving it pressurized. Should fix the issue

You may be right, it went up about a half inch after about 30 minutes

This drove me nuts when it happened, I had tubing and canisters all over my kitchen floor. Turns out all I needed was patience. I'm confident it just needs a few days. Good luck

Nice. I appreciate it. Hopefully that works!

Interesting, I have never had a sediment filter change not immediately push water through it in the 20 years I have been doing this

It’s pushing water though it, it’s just not building pressure in the carbon block chamber..

make sure it is centered and not blocking the flow in or out

Update: I turned on my rodi water this morning and it’s working totally fine. The carbon chamber filled up and holds water to the top like nothing ever happened. Haha strange but I’ll take it!

maybe you had an air dam within the unit

Must have been something to this effect. Maybe the unit sitting there over night without water running through it was enough to get the air out. Either way, it's working properly running 0 tds!
