RO Tank Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

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 Philadelphia, PA 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 Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a real person
How often should RO filters be changed?
Sediment and carbon prefilters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months. The membrane typically lasts two to four years, and a TDS meter tells you when it is due.
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.
Is RO water safe to drink without minerals?
Yes. Most of the minerals you take in come from food, not water. A remineralization cartridge can add calcium and magnesium back if you prefer the taste.
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.
