  • Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation.
  • Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
  • Do not attempt to modify the tank or its components.
  • The tank is pre-pressurized; do not adjust the pressure of a new tank unless specifically instructed for troubleshooting.
  • The first two tanks of water produced after installation or maintenance should not be consumed.
  • If water leakage occurs at the bottom air charge position or top thread, replace the tank.

3. Package Contents

The package contains the following item:

  • 1 x Tankpro 4.0 Gallon RO Water Storage Tank

5. Setup and Installation

  1. Unpack the Tank: Carefully remove the tank from its packaging.
  2. Inspect for Damage: Check the tank for any visible damage. Do not install a damaged tank.
  3. Prepare the Location: Ensure you have adequate space for the tank. Recommended space is approximately 11" x 11" x 17".
  4. Connect the Ball Valve: Screw the tank ball valve (not included) onto the 1/4" NPT valve thread at the top of the tank. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
  5. Integrate with RO System: Connect the tank to your Reverse Osmosis system according to your RO system's specific installation instructions. The tank is designed to work with standard RO systems.
  6. Check for Leaks: After connecting the tank and pressurizing the entire RO system, thoroughly check all connections for any leaks before leaving the installation site.
  7. Initial Water Flush: The first two tanks of water produced by the system after installation should be drained and not used for consumption. This flushes out any manufacturing residues.

6. Operation

The Tankpro RO Water Storage Tank operates in conjunction with your Reverse Osmosis system. Once installed, the RO system will automatically fill the tank with purified water. The tank's internal diaphragm maintains pressure, allowing water to be dispensed on demand.

  • The RO system will cycle on and off automatically, maintaining a balanced pressure between the tank and the auto shut-off valve.
  • The tank's design ensures a continuous flow of water, improving the performance of your RO system, especially when connected to refrigerators or ice makers.

7. Maintenance

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

7.1 Pressure Adjustment

The tank comes pre-pressurized (5-7 psi when empty). Do not adjust the pressure of a new tank. The RO system is designed to work with this standard pressure.

If, after several months of use, you notice unusual water flow from your faucet when using the RO system, you may need to check the tank pressure. If there is no water leaking from the bottom air charge position or top thread, you can adjust the tank pressure to the correct level (5-7 psi when empty). Use an air pressure gauge to check and a bicycle pump or similar device to adjust the pressure via the air valve.

7.2 Tank Replacement

Replace the tank if you observe any of the following conditions:

  • Water leaking from the bottom air charge position.
  • Water leaking from the top thread connection.
  • Significant and persistent loss of water pressure or capacity that cannot be resolved by adjusting the air pressure.

The typical service life of the tank is 5 years minimum.

8. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Low water flow from faucetLow tank pressure; clogged RO filters/membrane; faulty auto shut-off valve.Check and adjust tank pressure to 5-7 psi (empty). Replace RO filters/membrane if due. Inspect auto shut-off valve.
RO system constantly runningLow tank pressure; faulty auto shut-off valve; system leak.Check and adjust tank pressure. Inspect auto shut-off valve. Check for leaks in the system.
Water leaking from tankDamaged tank diaphragm or shell; loose connections.Tighten connections. If leak is from air charge position or top thread, replace the tank.
No water from faucetTank empty; RO system not producing water; tank valve closed.Allow RO system to fill tank. Check if tank ball valve is open. Troubleshoot RO system if it's not producing water.
