If you want to get rid of slime/biofilm, chlorine dioxide seems to be one of the most effective solutions. You can get it online, it's also sold to nutjobs who drink it (pro tip: don't drink bleach).
Congrats! Best instructional to the point explanation. Already know how, needed to know when, and how often to clean tank with is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for very informative video. I’ve liked it and subscribed the channel. I think a follow up video should cover how to change pre & post filters, empty and sanitize the tank etc. Thanks 🙏
I have to agree, it would have been very helpful to point out the items you are talking about and also show the "How To" parts. I think you'd sell more filters and such. Honestly great information, and thank you for it, but I will now go find a step by step on the "How To"...which may also be selling filters, etc... Best to you!
This was great on 'what' to do...but 'how' do I do everything? HOW do you clean out the tank?? I have an RO system that hasn't been used in five years, but now I'd like to begin using it, again. God only knows the state of the tank, by now!
i think its best to purchase a new tank if you want to be really safe. but then thats just create waste instead of reusing it. there has to be someway to force vinegar into the tank to help sanitized it. maybe fill in the cartridge with vinegar than turn on the water facet. let it sit there for quite some time then empty the tank 2 times. just a thought
Fantastic info John.. I have a Hydrotech Aqua Flo Quick-Change filters (twist off and throw away no housing) and I want to disinfect the system and tank.. Any help would be Much appreciated.. Thanks again
I have an RO 5500 Aquapure. You covered the basics, but I'm not sure what the individual parts are; I change the bottom 2 cartridges, but don't know what the top, sideways cartridge is so don't know how to replace it - and where is the filter? Or is that the top cartridge? Thanks
We live in Az from December to May. What is the best procedure to maintain unit while we are away. We have people come in to run water in sinks, toilets. Thanks
Use one part name brand regular bleach to 9 parts water. Run it in your system and let it sit for at least ten minutes, without the filters installed. Then rinse the heck out of it with plain water And run plain water through it until you don't notice any more bleach. Then install your new filters.
Your video is very informative. Thanks! Can you tell me why no water is coming out of my RO system after I change the filters and the tank is at 6.5 PSI? Water is getting to the prefilter but not past that point. I tore apart the assembly and did not find any thing blocking the flow of water.
very helpful thank you. I have a six months old Davis and Shirtliff 6 stage under sink mini RO system. I have just recently replace the three filters but after restarting the system it is not running as normal. It stutters and pushes a few drops of water with every stutter. Might you know what the problem is?
I changed my pre and post filters 17 days ago and now my flow has stopped and my tank is empty. Water is not coming into the system and my filters are clogged. They are supposed to last up to 6 months. Do you have any ideas why this would be happening? The filters before these only lasted 1 month. There can’t be THAT much sediment coming in to clog them up! Thanks.
Watched for 5 minutes to find out HOW to sanitize....then only told I should, but now how to do it.

Sanitizing solution for the tank, what do mean? And how to do it.
How do you sanitize the tank?

I am surprised Warren Buffett didn't get into the RO filter business. It's better than a toll bridge.
Sani-System is the Sanitizer for RO Units. Its EPA registered and NSF Certified.
Hi John...can you please share the complete process of sanitising the RO tank. Thanks.

@fresh water systems how to sanitize the tank please.
thank you for a thorough explanation of my reverse osmosis system. I have a PuRO Max RO under sink system. where do I buy filter replacements?
Great video! Really helpful, deserves more hits.

Should I sanitize the tank before using or is it clean out the box?
You forgot about pressurizing the tank

Specifically how do you actually sanitise the tank
Use one part name brand regular bleach to 9 parts water. Run it in your system and let it sit for at least ten minutes, without the filters installed. Then rinse the heck out of it with plain water And run plain water through it until you don't notice any more bleach. Then install your new filters.

Still need help?
can you show video how to flush a tank?
very helpful thank you. I have a six months old Davis and Shirtliff 6 stage under sink mini RO system.

Your thoughts on flushing the membrane or using an auto flush ?
HOw much bleach to run into to sanitize it?
Hi my faucet is leaking from the top. Where the three hoses connect on the bottom. Can you help?

I think you need to pump your tank with air
You said a lot of good things but nothing that HELPS anyone maintain their own tank...
While I appreciate the explanation of how the system works, I was expecting to see an actual "how to" video. This isn't it.
video title: "how"
There is no how in this video
bad video
