Kinetico QuickFlo storage tank pressure drop

[atkins]

We have a RO system that uses a QuickFlo storage tank.
The water flow from the faucet became a slow drizzle. We changed all filters and it did not help so we pulled out storage tank and opened. When we began emptying the water we realized the water smelled rotten. Like it had been stagnant for some time.

Does this tank have a bladder?

After we got the tank completely empty we reinstalled and the water flow is good now.

I am concerned that we are not getting good water now.

Does this tank have a bladder? or some type of lining that may have a hole in it causing water to become trapped and stagnant?

What should we do now.

All RO tanks will develop an odor and slimy feel and this is why a post carbon block filter is used to counter those issues. I recommend sanitizing once a year but most importantly keep up on your filter changes.

The next time you change filters remove the 1/4" line on the tank next to the 3/8" line on the tank and run water until the air has expelled and then reconnect. The tank has a bladder that separates the product water with the incoming household pressure water. There is no air charge in these tanks.
