Storage Tank Installation Procedure
The SteamerGard storage tanks are 10, 20 and 40 gallon, self pressurized storage tanks. As water from the RO fills the
tank, the pressure in the tank increases until it reaches 60 psi, at which point the RO will automatically turn off. As water is
drawn from the tank, the pressure in the tank drops. When the pressure in
the tank drops to 40 psi, the RO will automatically mm on.
1. Install the ball valve kit onto the tank. (Fig 4.) Use approximately 4
wraps of Teflon tape (provided) to seal each of the connections.
Tighten the fittings approximately one mm past hand tight. Do not
over tighten. Over-tightening may crack the fittings.
2. We recommend the use of the elbow fitting included to direct the ball
valve up along the tank instead of connecting the ball valve directly
to the nipple. Using the elbow will result in a more compact
installation that is less vulnerable to breakage.
3. Check the air pressure in the tank- With no water in the tank, it
should be 15 psi. Add or remove air as required.
4. Place the tank in the desired location. It should be placed in an area
where it will not be frequently bumped or jarred.
5. Run a 3/8" O.D. polybutylene line from one side of the Tee to the
product water outlet on the post treatment assembly on the RO (Fig.
3, Item 6).
6. Open the ball valve on the tank by turning the handle until it's
parallel with the body of the valve.
