That actually sounds reasonable if it's full of water yet, since there's no room for air to go. If you left the discharge open while adding air, you'd get a sense of the volume discharged by added air.I removed that white hex nut and there is an air valve (car/bicycle tire style) under it. I checked the pressure and it was at 0. I attempted to put air in and it almost immediately maxes out to 60psi. But this does not resolve the issue, I think there is something wrong internally and I am going to pick up a replacement tank.
I think that the 15-20 seconds of good water flow I get from the tank is just from the pressure built up from the RO water filling the tank from my household water pressure.
correctamundo.Just remember that you'll only get about half the tank volume from a pressurized tank. That 4 gal tank will supply maybe 2 gal quickly and then the output will be just what the membrane can produce. Get a bigger tank if you need more immediate output. I have a 20 gal tank so that I can supply about 10 gal for my typical brew day.
Not so sure that's true. RO systems are supposed to be periodically cleaned and sanitized...
Ah, mine is a tankless system adopted from a countertop RO 5 stage unit.Russ @Buckeye_Hydro has a pdf on cleaning and sanitizing RO systems with pressure tanks..
Lol! You're not getting off that easilyHe has a separate pdf for thankless systems...
