RO Tank Replacement in Portland, OR

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 Portland, OR 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 Portland, OR.

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.
Does reverse osmosis remove PFAS in Portland, OR?
Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective home methods for reducing PFAS such as PFOA and PFOS. Check that the system is certified to NSF/ANSI 58 for PFAS reduction, not only for TDS.
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.
What water pressure does a reverse osmosis system need?
Most under-sink systems need at least 40 psi and work best at 50 to 60 psi. Below that, a booster pump or permeate pump restores output.
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.
