I have a RO unit supposed to produce 100 GPD, but we use very little water. (drinking & ice) I would like to use this unit because of noise. ?

I mounted mine directly to the inside of the cabinet, and the noise is just a small clicking sound once every several seconds. It is only noticeable when it is quiet and you are standing near the pump.

The unit itself does not make much noticeable noise. Ours is set up in our garage and is pretty much out of sight & out of mind. We have had no issues with the unit. No real instructions on how to set up when received though. Had to look up set up online on youtube.

This aids in production of RO water. It helps your system produce more water with less waste water. It also aids your system if you have lower pressure. The noise is really a non issue. I did not hard mount mine to a cabinet, helping with the noise even more. Unless you are standing alone, in the quiet kitchen, you really are not going to notice it.

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.

Use the cleaning disk to run plain water. I find two cycles gives me enough hot water for whatever other beverage I want.

We have not connected ours to the ice maker but I think that is a wonderful idea. I am sure it can be done by consulting a plumber or even emailing the company directly. They usually try to help the consumer in any way they can for word of mouth advertising. But that aside, we love the RO on our kitchen sink and would not be without it.

On the winter mode setting and low flow setting the water is extremely hot. Our unit only ran for a short time, however. I'm not sure what failed, perhaps I needed a pre-filter? A downside is that I would have to send the unit to South America for servicing.

This faucet will not work for your RO system. This faucet is for a standard drinking water tap. The faucet you need for your unit is a air gap faucet. Search for reverse osmosis air gap faucet. Hope this helps Rod B

More than likely it will lead to a very slow flow and possible dripping out of faucet (due to lack of pressure in the RO system). It is not uncommon for us to see these hooked up to RO systems.

I believe that your rig will work, due to the pressure differential, which is what makes the unit come on. You'll have to play with flow and pressure until you hit the right combination. As water gets colder coming in, you need to ramp up the cutoff points. Some pdroblems aren't directly due to a bad unit;it's just the physics involved.

I find mine makes all kinds of noises. It sounds like it's from outerspace?! I suppose it's due to all that jazz going on inside. With that being said, it pulls the water in, makes and drops the ice and works quite efficiently. I wouldn't worry about all the noises unless it's not functioning properly...

It's not very noisy if you just use water. If you add ice, it is a little noisy at first. There is no air outlet to the outside.

Make sure you have enough flow volume. Check minimum water flow to turn heater on(min gph to operate)

Yes.At those temperatures, the %RH cannot be very high. If it is, you would be enjoying an "indoor fog." Don't allow it to run constantly. Try setting the unit to 45 or 50% RH at normal speed. Don't be surprised if the unit seldom runs until you reach an ambient 65 - 70 degrees.

I measured .75gpm on the lowest flow that activates the unit. Ours is on the highest setting.

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

For my machine, The Genesis, I push it all the way down quickly about 3 to 4 times before I hear the buzz with the 1/2 liter bottles. If you continue to NOT hear the buzz, contact sodastream by email (you can find it on their facebook page) or call them. They have the best customer support of any I have ever encountered. (the buzz is to show you that you have enough CO2 in the bottle). Make sure you have chilled water as it helps with carbonation.

my understanding is that this pump is only to boost the pressure of the filtered water. this allows you to mount the RO system in the garage (instead of under the sink)
