Reverse Osmosis air gap faucet leaking.
this is an easy fix and quite common. I found that removing the drain line where saddle is mounted and clean it from the inside.
A common leaking problem in most taps is the "air gap leak." It occurs when water leaks through the hole on an air gap faucet.
An air gap is a vital component of the reverse osmosis system. It prevents the back flow of water into the reverse osmosis unit. Instead, the air gap directs the excess water into the drain lines.
When a lot of debris accumulates in the drain line, it clogs up, creating back pressure that forces water to flow out through the air gap. Unfortunately, the back flow can flood your countertop.
To fix this problem, remove all the debris accumulated in your drain line to allow water to flow smoothly. You can use a wire brush or a pipe cleaner to clean out the drain line, starting from the end connected to the system's drain saddle.
You should also clean the system's drain saddle and ensure that it's properly aligned with the drain line. That's because the drain saddles can sometimes shift away from the drain lines.
To avoid air gap leaks completely, treat the drain line regularly using a natural cleaner that can dissolve the solids blocking it. Also, avoid flushing big chunks of food down the drain line.

My GE 153 will fill and drain but will not spin or agitat
The main motor is not running. I suspect water damage to the controller, probably corrosion on the motor wiring terminals. Also check the motor itself for signs of corrosion, especially at the terminals and the centrifugal switch housing at the end opposite the pulley..

How can I disconnect the pipe under the kitchen sink?
Hi again Joe
Plumbing trouble now? The pipes with some type of glue are indeed glued with PVC Pipe Cement. It melts seals and glues the pipes together. The only way to to cut and put in a joined, once again glued. Normally you only undo the threaded connector under the sink waste, and the water trap that is attached to it.

Moen single handle faucet, when turning off the water it drips on the cold side
Sephie, You have a very common problem. The short answer is you need to replace the Cartridge, which is Moen part # 1225.I have seen that so many times with that particular faucet... I'm not a big fan of Moen in general-- but that aside.... That Faucet is one of their "economy" lines and has a long history of giving trouble. I would suggest to you that the best solution would be to replace the faucet with a nice quality Delta, or equivelant-- Delta style and those that use the same parts such as many Peerless and others ARE VERY SIMPLE TO SERVICE, and the PARTS ARE PRETTY CHEAP AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE at Lowe's or Home Depot. Moen cartridges are expensive and can be hard to find the exact match as there are many models that look almost identical. You can get the part free from Moen, but that takes time and can be a hassel.Hope this helps, Let me know if you have further questions! Good Luck!
