Is there an issue with running RO water to this unit?

no - that is the only water i run through it and all ok. i did have a tank stop heating after about 8 years and replaced with another insinkerator

So far I am happy with the unit and have been using it for past two months without any issues.

No, I have had no problems. We have RO going through this and over to our refridgerator and it work awesome, I had it professionally installed.

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.

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

The water does spew out even at the lowest setting. Not sure why. Our unit is fairly new. Maybe close to one year.

Your tankless water heater has nothing to do with a RO water filtration system. The RO is used for cold drinking water or the ice maker only. It is connected to the cold water not the hot water line.

I have had two units now and they both have done this. My husband and I think it's due to hard water and the mineral build up. You can deep clean it, we have used a mineral cleaner on it not sure what the company would think of that. However we are back to having to get a new one due to build up. We will try distilled water only next time.

regular water is fine but all mine is reverse osmosis. If you don't i would watch for lime build up.

My suggestion would be to install the eSpring filter after the RO one. You see, the RO systems remove the larger-sized particles (look up Reverse osmosis' in Wikipedia for more details). The eSpring would then come in to take care of the smaller particles and wouldn't be clogged with the big ones.

I have not experienced that problem, but I do use filtered water when filling it. Try that. :)

I would purge the system completely. The pump should make a coiling sound . Also invest in a tds meter. Does it taste worse that the tap water? If so you might have it plumbed backwards.

I don't think it matters what RO system you have. If it has the option for a reserve tank and the fitting works, then it should fill with water.

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

More likely, no. You could retrofit and do a few adapters/ reducersto get it hooked up, but that is a lot of work. And would you use the water for everything, such as washing dishes? You could significantly reduce filter life when you use common application with RO. Much easier to install the drinking faucet.

It has a hose end connection. If it were connected to a faucet, simply disconnect it and then use your hot water. Do not run hot water through a RO system. Best practice would be to only connect this filter to a cold water outlet.

Hi friend. Did you let the water run for 5 min after initial installation the fist time? It is in the correct position. Also make sure the filter is on the right position. If this keep happening then I believe that it is defective. I hope not.

Mine works great and seems to be compatible with most RO systems. If properly installed you will have no air gaps. That may pertain to a different type of faucett.

Are you using filtered water or distilled water? These were suggested to me, in lieu of tap water. Maybe this will make the difference. We have had no problems!
