RO Tank Replacement in Decorah, IA
If the RO faucet starts strong and drops to a trickle after half a glass, the storage tank is usually the problem. Inside the steel shell sits a rubber bladder with an air charge behind it. When that air escapes, the tank still fills with water but has nothing pushing it back out.
The check takes five minutes. Close the tank valve, disconnect it and lift it. A tank that feels heavy but delivers almost nothing has lost its air. Drain it, then put a tire gauge on the Schrader valve on the side. It should read 7 to 8 psi with no water inside.
Bear Water Purification connects Decorah, IA homeowners with plumbers who recharge tanks that only lost air and replace tanks with a ruptured bladder. Water spitting out of the air valve gives a ruptured bladder away, and no recharge fixes that.
Tank size can change at replacement. Households that fill pitchers, kettles and coffee makers often move from a 3 gallon tank up to 4.5 or 14 gallons.
