I've watched a dozen of these "How to Re-Pressure a R/O Tank" and yours is the ONLY one I've seen that fully addresses a ruptured bladder. "If you have water coming out the air pressure valve or air coming out the water valve, it's time for a new tank." Unfortunately, that is my problem, but thanks to your video, I know what to do about it. Thanks!

Just watch your video on low pressure. Followed your instructions and fixed my problem in about 30 minutes. Years of frustration gone. Thanks very much. Don.

THANK YOU! I have had my Watts Premier RO system for 10 years. I thought it died when the pressure started going lower and lower. I followed your instructions and it works like it was new. THANK YOU!!!

You are awesome! Thanks a lot for putting this on KZread. I called GE and they didn't even know about the storage tank pressure issue. They said to just buy a new one for $120. My 7-year-old son and I did your trick in about 15 minutes. Now, we are so happy to have water again!

I read the manual and watched two other videos, Yours was the only one that made clear (really clear) that the tank must be completely empty of water; that if not , remaining water coming out of the shutoff valve on the tank could be emptied by pumping in air, and that the right PSI before the tank is back on line is 7. Also, you explained how do determine whether the bladder was damaged and the tank would need to be replaced. It's interesting how these little details matter!

Right on! Thanx for taking the time to explain this system and providing the proper repressurising procedure and psi.

this is wonderful and easy enough for a non mechanicanically minded person to complete without a problem. I have done this twice and used a bicycle pump and it works. Super Job, thanks so much.

Awesome... I have been bugging my husband to fix this problem for years.... But today I pulled up this video and we did it! Simple!

Was ready to buy a new tank then found this video and decided to give it a try. My tank is different than shown in the video but the same functionally. Followed these instructions and now have pressure just like new. Thanks.

Thanks, Just the information and directions that I needed. My tank had 0 psi. Now it's all good, thanks again.

My GE reverse osmosis filter stopped putting out water and was wondering what to do. When I saw your video I was so relieved. I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Really appreciate.

Excellent video. I wish I had known about this, as I have an air pup and could have saved myself a $75 house call for the service guy to pump up my RO tank in 2 minutes.

Hi, just wanted to THANK you for this informative, easy to follow presentation. I saw it, told my husband, he watched it and he did exactly as you instructed, and our system is fully functional again. Many thanks. This was valuable and moneysaving advice!

That was the BEST!!! Our water system without pressure had me turning it off and on 8 times to fill my coffee pot with water! My husband, who is busy watching T.V. and convincing me it wasn't the old filters needing replacing, needed to realize how much we needed to fix it. So I began buying gallons of arrowhead water from the store...get him in the pocket book! No-- that didn't work (and I had to carry them all from the car because as I explained, he's busy. Wait!! Google it! I recently removed a glass shower door doing the same. But now my problem is, how do I make him think he thought of it? :) I do love the dear man-- he works so hard. But I REALLY loved your helpful video-- thanks so much...nice to have a man around the computer!

Thank you so much for this video. I followed your directions and my reverse osmosis system is working powerfully again.

Very simple and straight to the point, yet covered all important issues regarding tank bladder pressurization. Very good and valuable video. Thanx !!!

For anyone wondering, it's 7 psi.

Our tank says maximum pressure 125 PSI, so that's a huge difference from what I'm seeing here.

@@leozero_ That's the max water pressure!

Just tried your method and it worked great! Nice to have water pressure back again.

Great Video Leonard... Sadly it didn't save me from having to buy a new tank. I would not have known I needed a new one without watching you video... Thanks

So glad I watched the whole video because at the end, the presentor mentioned that if water comes out of the pressure valve, the tank needs replacing! Too bad he didn't mention it sooner! But thanks for the info!

Thank you for producing this video, I didn't realize that you needed to take the tanks out of the system for ideal charging, but that makes sense!

Excellent detailed instructions...much better than the troubleshooting page for my RO system. Thanks so much

Done deal! 0 pressure in the tank, pumped it up, and drinking water again! Thanks!

Great video! Thank you!! The explanation of the tank and how it works with the bladder and pressure was valuable!

Thank you for great instructions. Guys like you make our Lives easier

VERY HELPFUL: I think you just helped me solve the problem - probably a broken air/water separation bladder.

Thank you!! I had already replaced all my filters (they still needed replaced) and was just about to buy a whole new system and followed your technique and viola I suddenly get water!! I had not even been able to get a glass of water prior to doing this.

We have a Kenmore RO system. Gradually, the amount of water dispensed has decreased until it is difficult to get a full gallon out at one time. Removing the tank requires removing the plastic sink drain lines. Fortunately, the storage tank was not behind the disposal! Its manufacture date is 2013. The Kenmore has a pressure fitting on the top and the Schrader valve on the bottom side, but you probably know that. I checked its pressure with a high quality, digital, pressure gauge and it read zero. The tank was initially quite heavy. Turning the tank upside down in our utility sink resulted in very slow drainage of the water and it had to be tilted to allow air to enter it. Pressing in the valve pin caused the water to exit very quickly. If the bladder was intact, then I would expect that there would either be no effect or actually less water draining. As we've experienced occasional parts failures with these RO units, we purchased several of these units before Sears went under, so I'm installing a "new" storage tank, but this one was actually manufactured in 2011, so it's technically older, although never used before. On a sad note, while this is a very useful video, I notice no responses from you to people's many comments or questions for you.

Thank you very much for this video and YES it was a great help. I had an idea about using my car tire pump but was not 100% sure, and that scared me. Now I am feeling a lot more confident...not over confident...Thanks again.

Thank you very useful. I was wondering if I needed to change the whole system but your video saved me quite a bit of time and money

Very useful info that is explained in a manner that even a klutz like me can understand.

Thanks ever so much for this. It made a daunting task very simple. I used a regular bicycle pump, took me about 10 minutes. Vicky, UK

Great instructions. It took me all of 5 minutes to find my small compressor and a bike tire gauge. 5 minutes later I had the tank re-pressurized thanks to your instructions. Very, very easy to do yourself!

Wonderful video. Explains simply a complicated topic.

Thanks for this video! I had air coming out of my water thingy so time to get a new tank. This was a LOT of help & I really appreciate it! THANK YOU!!!!

thank you so much! i was trying to figure this out from reading the instructions, but watching this video made it so much easier

I figured someone had an answer, and this was the perfect video, very simply explained, I followed the steps exactly along with replacing my filters. My air tank had a huge amount of water in it, but zero air pressure. I'm wondering if my well pump tank works the same way. THANKS!

Thank you very much for this video. It was incredibly easy to re-pressurize my tank and everything is flowing great now!

Very helpful. Thanks You Tube is the greatest thing, but it can take up half of your day watching because there are so many interesting videos.

Thanks for the clear explanation - I order all my filter replacements from you guys. You're the best!

Well done, now I'll try to get my pressure up. your the man!

You do a great job explaining what to do. Thank you

Very helpful and straightforward. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

This was extremely helpful and on point. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the explanation about how the tank works!!

Very helpful..have been puzzled for weeks,,, very easy implementation...thanks

Great information, I was wondering whether the water was pressurised from these units, and you've explained this very well... thanks

Generous in giving information. God bless you

Terrific instructions. I just refilled my tank but with a bicycle pump.

Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Thanks Mr. The things we find we got to learn.. Never woulda thunk it.

Thank you for your succinct, and helpful video! It easily resolved a slow running faucet.

Great PAL. I do appreciate you very good piece of advice.

Great video. Thank you for helping with my low pressure problem.

Thanks, you just saved me $126.00 house call. Great job explaining!

Worked just as you explained. Thanks!

very helpful! thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to do this.

This was a great video, very informative and helpful. Thanks for putting it together as my water is flowing terrific again.

I have a basement installation for the RO system. Very informative nevertheless. Thank you.

Really Great Job. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You! I appreciate your company and your philosophy of service without the quotes. I will be ordering from you quys.

Great video and very helpful. Thanks

Thanks man, never paying those guys to work on my system again!

Thanks for the help! RO working again!

I have one of those tire pumps. So, do I have to take my RO tank to the garage, where my pump is plugged into my car?How do I plug the pump in, inside my house, closer to my kitchen sink?Also, does a tire gauge work to test for 7 lbs? Thanks.

Simple clear instructions. Thanks

This worked like a charm. Thank you.

Thank you, very helpful, excellent work and details.

Thanks Leonard, seems easy enough. gonna give it a go!

really helpful and concise - thank you

Thanks for your help today

thank you very much! This helped me to maintenance on my RO/DI system.

Thank you very much for this more informative video.

Thanks for the video. I checked the owners manual to my RO system and it said that the tank pressure should be between 5 & 12 lbs. I went for 10 lbs. because I keep my RO in the basement by the water softener where it is easier to service. It is cooler in the basement than under the sink so I went on the high end of the range.

i liked it very much. it was just what i needed to fix my system.

very helpful great video

Great job, thanks. Our pressure suddenly dropped. I will try this. We have almost new filters. Our TDS has gone from 3 to 15, could this have to do with the lack of water pressure?

Thanks so much. Very clear and helpful.

Very helpful. Thank you

thanks, great explanation. my problem is that my shrader-valved tire pumps all have a quick-attach coupling-not the old-fashioned screw-on coupling-which won't press fully enough onto the valve stem to press the valve pin. sounds like the electric pump works for you, so i'll try that. thanks again.

fixed my low pressure problem! thanks!

Excellent video.. Thanks

Thank you for the valuable information.

Thank you. Saved me some money.

12 years ago video. amazing

That is well explained thank you for sharing. It was very helpful.

Thank you for this helpful video.

My Amtrol RO4 just failed after 19 years. Poor pressure at the faucet led to me determining water leaking from the schraeder valve while trying to take pressure readings. The water leaking from the schaeder valve is due to a ruptured internal rubber bladder which, in a properly functioning tank, separates the water at the top of the tank from the pressurized air chamber at the bottom of the tank (where the schraeder valve is).

Thank you very much! Huge help!

Great video. Was all set to do the fix but can't disconnect the tank. There are fitting but doesn't look like anything to unscrew

Very helpful. Thanks.

Worked perfectly. Thanks.

Thank you very much. Very helpful video indeed!

Thank you very much, very useful and saved my money, time👍
