I just installed the faucet and it leaks out of the air gap vent hole. Is it defective?
The air gap vent hole on the faucet may have a very small bubbling leak of a few drops periodically for a week or so after the initial installation or filter replacements. This small leak is normal and is caused by air bubbles being forced the through filters and water lines.
The faucet air gap is noisy. Is it defective?
If you are using the faucet with a reverse osmosis system, you may hear noise coming from the RO system as it fills up the storage tank with water. You may also hear a slight draining or bubbling sound from the air gap when the RO wastewater drains. Both are normal, and are not a sign of any problem with your faucet.
My air-gap is constantly making a lot of noise. Is that normal?
Air gap faucets may make a small amount of noise while the tank fills, but it should not be very loud. If it is making a lot of noise, then the problem could be that your flow restrictor bypass valve is turned on. If it is turned on, then the flow restrictor is bypassed and, as a result, nearly all of the water going through the system will be sent down the drain as wastewater. The flow restrictor bypass valve needs to be set to the “OFF” position so that the flow restrictor is in use. Turn the gray toggle switch so that the prong is pointing out, away from the system, to the “OFF” position. This will engage the flow restrictor and limit the amount of wastewater sent to the drain, which should stop the loud noise you are hearing.
