Yes, the storage tank for the Geekpure RO-TW Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System needs cleaning and sanitizing.
The process is as follows:
1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system and close the ball valve on the storage tank. 2. Open the RO faucet. 3. Use an eyedropper and add 3 ml of household bleach (5.25%) into the open end of the 3/8" tube connected to the tank. 4. Reconnect the tubing to the tank ball valve. 5. Sanitizing is completed during the flush system steps.
Flush System Instructions:
1. Check all connections to ensure they are secure. 2. Turn on the feed water valve and check for leaks. Fix any leaks if found. 3. Close the faucet and wait 5 minutes to check for leaks again. 4. Open the faucet handle and allow the tank to completely drain. Do not use this water, as it may contain bleach.
This process ensures the tank is sanitized and safe for use.

How Your System Works Geekpure RO5 Series systems use five stages of treatment to filter your water: - Remove sand, dirt, sediment Stage 1 - Remove chlorine, taste & odors, very fine particulates Stage 2 - Remove chlorine, taste & odors, very fine particulates...
Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source, such as contamination by raw sewage. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes and requirements. Non-Booster pump models work on inlet water pressures of 40 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum).
Scissors Faucet Tank Tank ball valve Water Pipe RO Membrane Clip Feed Water Diverter Valve Drain Clamp Manual System Location Your RO system may be installed under the sink, in a basement, or other location depending on available space. It is recommended the system be installed in as close a proximity to the faucet to ensure optimal system flow rate.

Guidelines for component placement are as follows: Faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally required. A 2" flat surface is required to mount the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available. The thickness of the mounting surface should not exceed 1-1/4"...
Parts Of The System Faucet Drain Feed Water Pressure Tank 3/8" White Tube Figure 1. Typical Installation The following components make up your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System: 1. Pre-PP Sediment removes larger particles such as sand, silt, and rust. removes chlorine in the feed water to protect 2.
4. Reverse Osmosis Membrane reduces dissolved minerals, metals and salts. During the process, harmful compounds are separated by the membrane and the reject water goes to waste (drain). 5. Post-Carbon Filter is provided for a final "polish" to provide great tasting drinking water. 6.
Installing the Filters Remove the protective wrap from the filter cartridge. Apply NSF certified silicon grease (provided) liberally on the filter o-ring. (Failure to do this can result in a slow leak or drip if the o-ring is too dry). To install the filter simply push it up inside the cap and turn clock wise until the arrow aligns with the center of the cap.
NOTES: While there is a gasket that seals against the shut off valve, it is recommended to still use Teflon tape on the tank threads to insure a good seal is achieved. It is also recommended to check for any leaks after the system has had time to produce water and pressurize inside the storage tank.
