how to stop gurgling sound watts premier ro-pure

All units make a slight gurgling sound after they are used. The gurgling is the water coming from the drain tube into your drain. If the noise is coming from anywhere else I would say that there is an issue with the unit which I have heard of this happening in the past. If the water draining into the drain is extremely loud there is a few things that you could try to reduce the splashing or gurgling. I would look to see how your drain line is inside the drain it is possible that the angle or the amount that it is sticking into the drain is causing a splash or for the water to hit the water in the trap instead of running down the side of the pipe, pushing the line in a little more so the water hits the side of the drain would reduce a splashing sound. If this is not the issue and the unit or drain line gurgles like there is air inside i would try the following. Make sure all air has been purged and confirm that bladder in tank has not ruptured which you can do with a tire gauge. If that all checks out then the last thing I would try would be to slightly close the inlet valve everyones water pressure varies and if you have really high water pressure it could make the unit gurgle. I have well water but my water goes through Iron filters, water softner, and charcoal filter before the R.O. and I have never had any issues. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue here with the system making a loud bubbling sound when it is operating. The solution was to open up the hole in the drain to 3/8", so it matches the exit opening in the drain saddle. Initially, I had followed the assembly instructions and only drilled a 1/4" hole, however, this creates a small cavity between the black 3/8 drain hose and the 1/4 hole in your drain. Water and air accumulate there and create nice bubbler and its sound is amplified through the drain pipe.

We had the same issue when installing our second Watts system and asked our plumber to come back to take a look (our first did not have this problem). It turns out we were missing a part called the "flow restrictor." The flow restrictor is installed inside of the red tube. We were lucky enough to have kept our old system and the plumber used the flow restrictor for the new system and now we are enjoying the water system in silence! Look at page 12 of the instruction manual for this issue. Hope this helps!

SOLVED!! My RO system made a gurgling/dropping sound for several minutes each time I used it. Tried all the suggestions I found to no avail. I finally solved the problem... The drain line, going into the sink drain, had a low spot. (The drain line had a section that sloped upward to the sink drain). I shortened the tubing by a couple of inches so the drain line now only slopes down. Problem solved!!!!!

I spoke to Watts about this issue. They said the noise is related to water passing through the membrane. I am still looking into it, but the noise is not constant in our case.

I have not received an answer from Watts on that very question. When I hear from them, I will post the response.

If you are getting a gurgling from the drain I had that problem with my previous GE unit and it drove me nuts, what I did was attached the "waste water" drain directly to the waste pipe in the basement, rather than under the sink before the trap and never had a problem. When I replace the GE unit with the Watts, it never was an issue as I used the same connection. You don't even hear the system, I know its working because you see the brine coming down the tube.The only problem with putting everything in the basement is the flow is not as strong as it could be, but for the extra room and no noise, well worth it If you are getting a gurgling from the drain I had that problem with my previous GE unit and it drove me nuts, what I did was attached the "waste water" drain directly to the waste pipe in the basement, rather than under the sink before the trap and never had a problem.

I wish I knew, it is aggravating. The minute I start to use the faucet, it starts running. If you find a cure please post it.. Thanks

Touch "menu". On the menu screen touch the bottom of the screen with the screwdriver which is "tools", touch "sound". Make sure "mute" is unchecked and that the slider isn't at the lowest point. That should take care of it.

Never had that issue. I did remove mine because of the sound.Just sounded really bad.Anybody wanna buy it for $100 ?

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

My units have always been almost silent. There could be something stuck among the grates of the filter itself. You might try washing and drying properly and restarting? Ear-hurting noise is NOT normal. Good luck!

I assume you got the unit with the Permate pump? If so then it's not your imagination. I can actually hear mine upstairs! However it only lasts for a while until the tank is filled again. And somewhere in the instructions it says that you can cover the pump with insulating material since it's not an electrically powered device. That should help with the noise . . . hopefully.

Alignment + lubrication will reduce the brushy sound. How to do it is in the manual.

Yes it does make gurgling noise when it is pumping water up to the freezing unit. I empty the bin and turn it off at night then restart it during the day.

I don't mind the noise at all. The actual problem is that it appears as obstruction after turning it on for a bit.

Stuff a little cotton in the intake. Most of the noise is from the intake chamber resonating.

Thank you. I finally got it to work on one of my devices although it makes a strange gurgling noise when I turn it off. Hope it lasts longer than 2 months!

1) Attach the weights that were included in the package to the hose as shown in the directions2) If the weights are on, try moving them closer to the cleaner head3) Reduce the vacuum pressure to the cleaner by turning down the flow to the cleaner. There's usually a set of valves by your pump and filter assembly. This should be the first step if your cleaner is making a very loud thumping noise! NOTE: It will always make some noise.Good Luck!

I find that remove from heat immediately after finished brewing (as soon as you hear gurgling noise) helps. I brew mine on high heat... Don't know if that helps. It could also be the coffee. I use a Phil's

On the Samsung tv go to menu then preferences / accessibility and disable DV this turns off the annoying narrator

Our tank less makes no noise at all. I installed the unite my self just under the bathroom floor. In the year we have used it I replaced the scale filter 2 months ago. We don't have soft water so it gets a real work out. Other than that we have hot water in 15 sec after we turn it on no noise just hot water.

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

None. It's actually very quite. You might here some noise initially as its priming. But after about a minute or two it is silent. Make sure you have the tubes in the correct intake and outflow hookups. Also make sure the filter is level with your tank and not below it. Finally assure that your tubes run without any twists in them.
