Is the water flow weak because the faucet valve is not fully open?

➔ Turn the valve near the feed water source counterclockwise to open it.

The faucet valve is used to control the flow of water from the plumbing.
It is usually located at the rear of the faucet.
If the faucet is attached to the sink, then the valve should be located underneath the sink.
The water purifier will dispense slowly if this valve is not fully open.

Is the water flow weak because the middle valve is not fully open?

➔ Turn the middle valve at the rear of the water purifier counterclockwise to open it.

Behind the water purifier, there is a middle water supply valve which connects to the sink plumbing.

If it is not a utility shut off, check that the water supply hose is not compressed or kinked.

Especially if the water supply hose is positioned in a place with limited visibility, such as beneath the sink, ensure to inspect the hose's condition and straighten it if necessary.

Did the filters get clogged following the cleaning of your apartment's water tank or any plumbing work?

➔ If so, please contact our customer support for assistance with filter replacement or water purifier cleaning.

Post-plumbing renovations can often result in unwanted substances seeping into the system.
If the feed water contains a high level of contaminants, the filter might clog before its usual replacement cycle.
So, please reach out to our customer service team to resolve the issue.
Even if the water flow appears weak, the water from the purifier remains safe to drink as the filters continue to function effectively according to research from LG Electronics' water purifier center.
