1

Feed water blocked

Low input pressure

Make sure all lines to the RO system and within the RO head are not obstructed. Low water results in slightly higher tds

Untangles the lines and make sure all the feed valves are fully turned on.

2
Wrong membrane direction

Forgot to insert membrane

TDS test

Normally without the membrane, the RO water's ppm is equivalent to the Tap water's ppm.

4
Defective Membrane

(Extremely Rare)

Clogged pre-filters

Flow rate test

Clogged pre-filters inadvently lowers the water pressure. Thus cause the tds to escalate.
