The pressure in the tank needs to be measured when the tank is completely empty so let s start by shutting off the water supply to your reverse osmosis system.
Reverse osmosis tank pressure.
The number one reason for low water flow from a reverse osmosis system is due to the holding tank losing its air pressure.
The reverse osmosis tank maintains pressure throughout the reverse osmosis system and actuates the on off cycling of the system by monitoring line pressure.
Allow four hours for the tank to fill and try again.
The reverse osmosis system is equipped with a sensory valve that halts the production of water when the pressure in the tank reaches 2 3 of the line pressure.

The air compartment is pressurized and as you open the tap the air pushes on the water and it flows out through the tap.
How reverse osmosis tanks work.
This video describes how to servic.
Ro pressure tanks have two compartments inside them.
The water pressure decreases as the tank gets near empty since the reverse osmosis filter produces water at a slow rate.

Like we mentioned above an empty ro tank has pressure of 6 to 8 psi.
In the pnrv18 model the tank holds approximately 1 5 gallons and in the pnrv model it holds 2 1 gallons.
