You lost air pressure in the tank. RO tanks have a bladder in them with an 8 psi (55.2 kPa) air charge. Once all the water is removed from the tank, adjust the pressure to 8 psi (55.2 kPa). This can be done using a bicycle pump or air compressor.

Most likely you need to double-check the installation for any blockage due to lodged food or miscellaneous debris: b.) Check for blockage at the drain stand pipe by unscrewing the 3/8" black line that is connected to it. Clear opening to drain stand, making certain 3/8" black tubing is also clear.

Our RO systems come standard with a membrane that produces about 50 gallons of purified water per day. An upgrade is available at a relatively low cost which allows you to boost production to 100 gallons per day. The upgrade kit includes a larger membrane and housing and a larger storage tank (20 gallons). The actual amount of water produced in your home will depend on your household water pressure.

This will depend on where you are camping. When camping at a campground which has water at each site, filling the tank is not necessary. Just connect your hose (you did get a white hose designed for drinking water, didn't you?) to the city water connection on the side of your pop-up. When camping at a campground which has water available, but not at each site, stop at a water source as you enter the campground and fill up the tank using your hose BEFORE you go to the site to set up the pop-up.

Yes. Drips waste a precious resource - water, and it costs you money. As an example, if you have a faucet that drips 60 times a minute, this adds up to over 3 gallons each day or 1,225 gallons each year. To fix a leak, call your local plumber. I can dispose of hazardous chemicals down the drain, right? The wastewater plant is responsible for clean up. Wrong. Hazardous materials such as oils and paint thinners disrupt the collection system and the treatment plant.

Pitcher and faucet-mounted filters generally rely solely on activated carbon filtration. While activated carbon is very effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, the problem with this type of filters is that they contain a very small amount of activated carbon. Further, the time the water spends in contact with the carbon, particularly with faucet mounted units is too little to provide full absorption.

There are two main types of faucet-mount filters: granulated active carbon (GAC) and carbon block (CB)filters. In both cases, the amount of carbon contained is very little compared to conventional filters, and the frequency of cartridge changes is high. This makes them quite expensive purchases.

Testing allows you to verify that the system you have is appropriate to remove the particular contaminants in your water.

YES, RO systems work on hard water, but hard water does shorten the life span of the membranes. Membranes typically last over 5 years, but on hard water life cycle may be decreased 2-3 years.

Many use the word "pure" and many books have been written on the subject. Purified water is a term that has little meaning unless additional qualifiers are added. Such as: salt free, bacteria free, etc. Distilled water is probably as close to "pure" as water can get. It is made by evaporation and removal of all solid particles plus dissolved materials. Purified water by the reverse osmosis method means that the original water has reduced mineral content.

YES! Reverse Osmosis was originally designed R.O. make sea water drinkable for the navy. It is ideal for anyone on a low sodium diet. YES! An R.O. membrane has a pore size much smaller than bacteria virus, pyrogen microorganisms from tap water and produce sterile water.

Yes. R.O. water is softened through the reverse osmosis purification process; however hard water (above 7 grains of hardness) will shorten the life of the membrane. The harder the water, the shorter the life. Example: If you incoming water is 15 grains hard, you may only get 2-3 years of life from your membrane.

Of course. Flexcon tanks are designed in the knowledge that chlorine is often used to periodically treat a well.

Distilled water is boiled and the steam condensed for drinking water. Distilled water contains practically no minerals or dissolved solids, whereas RO water does contain trace amount of minerals and salts. Most people report RO as testing better than distilled water, which can taste flat. Distillers use electricity whereas RO's work on line pressure from the household plumbing (Except for commercial and industrial RO Systems, which use pumps)and require no electricity.

Mineral Water which is made absolutely free from minerals or salts and then, minerals or salts are added in required proportion as per the standards i.e. BIS or WHO. RO Water can not be called mineral water because the salts or minerals are not dosed in it but are maintained by the rejection level of particular membrane. RO WATER IS EQUIVALENT TO PACKAGED DRINKING WATER. RO.system removes approx. 90-95% of dissolved minerals and chemicals from the water and R.O.

The higher the quality of water, the longer the water must stay in the filter in order to reduce the intended contaminants. As a result, the water flow coming out of the filter will be low. Since not all water needs to be filtered, we recommend a separate faucet for drinking and cooking needs if a filter is used for anything beyond a chlorine taste and odor filter. For example, a filter designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor can typically flow at approximately 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm).

Cloudy tap water is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless and does not affect the water's taste or quality. If the water is allowed to sit for a couple minutes, the air will dissipate and the water will clear.

The cloudy water is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water similar to gas bubbles in carbonated drinks or beer. Often this occurs if you have an aerator, a fine mesh screen, on the end of your faucet. After a while the bubbles rise to the surface and are gone.

The cloudy water is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water similar to the gas bubbles in beer and carbonated soft drinks. After a while, all the bubbles rise to the top and are gone. This type of cloudiness occurs with more frequency in the winter, when drinking water is cold.

Yes. We are licensed to dispose of redundant oil tanks - the service is free of charge if we have replaced your oil tank.
