The number one reason for low water flow from a reverse osmosis system is due to the holding tank losing its air pressure. This video describes how to service your RO holding tank and re-pressurize the tank to the proper air pressure.

I've watched a dozen of these "How to Re-Pressure a R/O Tank" and yours is the ONLY one I've seen that fully addresses a ruptured bladder. "If you have water coming out the air pressure valve or air coming out the water valve, it's time for a new tank." Unfortunately, that is my problem, but thanks to your video, I know what to do about it. Thanks!

I read the manual and watched two other videos, Yours was the only one that made clear (really clear) that the tank must be completely empty of water; that if not , remaining water coming out of the shutoff valve on the tank could be emptied by pumping in air, and that the right PSI before the tank is back on line is 7. Also, you explained how do determine whether the bladder was damaged and the tank would need to be replaced. It's interesting how these little details matter!

That was the BEST!!! Our water system without pressure had me turning it off and on 8 times to fill my coffee pot with water! My husband, who is busy watching T.V. and convincing me it wasn't the old filters needing replacing, needed to realize how much we needed to fix it. So I began buying gallons of arrowhead water from the store...get him in the pocket book! No-- that didn't work (and I had to carry them all from the car because as I explained, he's busy. Wait!! Google it! I recently removed a glass shower door doing the same. But now my problem is, how do I make him think he thought of it? :) I do love the dear man-- he works so hard. But I REALLY loved your helpful video-- thanks so much...nice to have a man around the computer!
