Why Can I Only Get a Quart or Less From My Tank?

and

Why Does My System No Longer Make Water?

Usually, a significant reduction in available water is due to the storage tank losing its air

charge, or possibly the bladder in the tank has failed. You can verify this by moving the tank after
the flow at the faucet declines. If it feels heavy, then the tank needs to be serviced. Refer to the
appropriate sections in this booklet to remedy these conditions.

Your RO system, under most conditions, should produce at least 6 gallons per day (22.7

liters per day). You can check this by closing the ball valve on the top of the tank, opening your
RO faucet, and waiting until the flow of water becomes a constant drip. Using a measuring device,
carefully measure the rate water is being produced, and convert to gallons per day. If the rate is 6
or more  gallons per day (22.7 or more liters per day), the reduction in water is not due to prob-
lems with the membrane. If the flow rate is less than 6 gallons per day (less than 22.7 liters per
day), the membrane likely needs to be replaced.
