2. Instalación y configuración

Follow these steps for proper installation of your RO water storage tank. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

2.1 Desembalaje e inspección

• Retire con cuidado el tanque de su embalaje.
• Inspect the tank for any visible damage. If damage is found, contact customer support immediately.
• Verify that the tank's pre-charge pressure is between 5-7 psi when empty. Do not alter this pressure for a new tank unless instructed by a professional.

2.2 Connecting the Tank

1. Locate the stainless steel 1/4" thread inlet/outlet on the top of the tank.
2. Connect the tank to your Reverse Osmosis system using appropriate fittings. A tank ball valve (not included) is typically required for this connection. For a compatible 3/8" tube tank ball valve, search ASIN: B078W6CFRH en Amazon.
3. Ensure all connections are tightened securely to prevent leaks. Avoid over-tightening.

2.3 Initial System Pressurization

• After connecting the tank, allow the entire RO system to pressurize.
• Carefully check all connections for any leaks. It is recommended to re-check for leaks before leaving the installation site.
• Importante: The first two tanks of water produced by the system should not be consumed. This allows for flushing of any manufacturing residues.

3. Operación

The HIDROTEK RO Water Storage Tank operates in conjunction with your Reverse Osmosis system to provide on-demand purified water.

• The tank stores purified water from the RO membrane.
• When you open your RO faucet, the stored water is dispensed under pressure.
• The RO system will automatically refill the tank as water is consumed, maintaining a balanced pressure.
• The tank's pre-pressurized air bladder helps push water out when the faucet is opened.

The system is designed for automatic operation. Avoid manually changing the tank pressure unless troubleshooting specific issues, as this can disrupt the system's balance.

4. Mantenimiento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RO water storage tank.

4.1 Comprobaciones periódicas

• Inspección de fugas: Periodically check all connections for any signs of water leaks. Address any leaks immediately.
• Water Flow Monitoring: If you notice unusual water flow from your RO faucet after several months of use, it may indicate an issue with the tank's pressure or integrity.

4.2 Pressure Adjustment (If Necessary)

If the faucet water flow is unusual and there are no visible leaks, the internal air pressure of the tank might need adjustment. This should only be done if the tank is empty of water.

1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system.
2. Drain all water from the RO tank by opening the RO faucet.
3. Once the tank is empty, check the air pressure using a low-pressure gauge at the air valve (typically located at the bottom of the tank, under a blue cap).
4. The standard empty tank pressure should be 5-7 psi.
5. If the pressure is outside this range, use a bicycle pump or air compressor to adjust it.
6. After adjustment, close the RO faucet and turn on the water supply to the RO system. Allow the tank to refill and the system to repressurize.

5. Solución de problemas

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your RO water storage tank.

5.1 Low Water Flow from Faucet

• Check Tank Pressure: If the tank's internal air pressure is too low, it cannot effectively push water out. Refer to Section 4.2 for pressure adjustment.
• Tank Diaphragm Failure: If water leaks from the bottom air charge position or the top thread, the internal rubber diaphragm may have failed. In this case, the tank needs to be replaced.
• RO System Issues: Ensure your overall RO filtration system is functioning correctly, including filters and membrane.

5.2 fugas

• Puntos de conexión: Most leaks occur at connection points. Tighten fittings, ensuring not to overtighten. Check for damaged O-rings or threads.
• Tank Body: If the tank itself is leaking from the body, it indicates a manufacturing defect or damage, and the tank should be replaced.

5.3 Tank Not Filling

• RO System Function: Verify that your RO system is producing water. Check the pre-filters and RO membrane.
• Auto Shut-Off Valve: Ensure the auto shut-off valve (if present in your RO system) is functioning correctly and allowing water to flow into the tank.
• Presión del tanque: If the tank pressure is too high when empty, it may prevent the RO system from filling it. Adjust pressure to 5-7 psi.
