How to Sanitize the Storage Tank

The storage tank should be sanitized yearly. Use of either Water Factory Systems “Tank

Sanitizing Vial” (P/N: 52-34103) or 1/2 teaspoon of unscented bleach is recommended. Contents
of the vial or the bleach can be put into the 3/8” tube connecting the tank to the system. Fill the
tank with either tap water or allow it to fill normally by connecting it to the RO unit. Wait at least
30 minutes after the tank is filled, then drain the tank. This completes the tank sanitizing.

How to Change the Storage Tank Bladder

Disconnect the storage tank from the RO unit. Drain any water out and relieve any air pres-

sure from the Shrader valve. In the case of the white plastic tank, unscrew the large black nut on
the top. In the case of the blue metal tank, remove the 6 bolts. Lift out the old bladder. Install the
new bladder. Wet the sealing surfaces of the new bladder with either glycerine or water.
Reassemble the cap and black nut or the metal plate with the 6 bolts. Add 7-8 psi (48-55 kPa) of
air to the Schrader valve. Wait 5 minutes and recheck the air charge. If OK, sanitize the tank and
reconnect it to the RO system.
