RO Tank Replacement in Chicago, IL

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 Chicago, IL 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.

Call (833) 879-3600 to replace or recharge your RO tank.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about RO Tank Replacement in Chicago, IL.

Talk to a real person
How much water does a reverse osmosis system waste?
Older under-sink systems send roughly 3 to 4 gallons to drain for every gallon of purified water. Newer high-efficiency units and systems with a permeate pump cut that ratio sharply, some close to 1 to 1.
Does an RO system remove nitrate?
Yes, reverse osmosis reduces nitrate and nitrite, which is why it is common on farm-area wells. Look for an NSF/ANSI 58 certification that lists nitrate, and retest the treated water after install.
Can I connect my RO system to the refrigerator and ice maker?
Yes, with a dedicated 1/4 inch line teed after the post-filter. If the fridge is far from the sink or ice cubes come out small, a permeate or delivery pump fixes the pressure.
Why does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
How do I know if my RO membrane needs replacing?
Compare a TDS reading from the regular tap with one from the RO faucet. If the membrane is removing less than about 80 to 85 percent of dissolved solids, it is time to replace it.
