Product Information
Full details
The Hommix 2.2 Gallon Reverse Osmosis Water Storage Tank is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to maintain a consistent supply of purified water as part of an existing reverse osmosis system. It provides a durable, NSF-certified storage vessel that ensures water remains fresh and safe through its high-quality construction. While it is built for reliability, users should note that the actual usable water capacity is between 4 and 5 litres, rather than the full 2.2-gallon volume, which is a standard characteristic of pressurized RO tanks.

FAQs
Why is the usable capacity less than 2.2 gallons?
A portion of the total volume is occupied by the air charge required to pressurize the water, which is standard for all bladder-style RO storage tanks.
Can I install this tank on its side?
Yes, this tank is designed to be installed either vertically or horizontally to accommodate different cabinet configurations.
Is the tank safe for drinking water?
Yes, the tank is NSF-certified and features a food-grade butyl rubber membrane to ensure safety and prevent water contamination.
Can I connect two of these tanks together?
Yes, you can connect multiple units in series to increase your total stored water capacity.
Does the tank include a mounting bracket?
It is supplied with a sturdy plastic holder designed for base stability and transit protection.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is very slow from the faucet
Check the air pressure in the tank; if the pressure is too low, the tank cannot push water out effectively.
Tank feels heavy but no water comes out
Verify that the tank shut-off valve is open and check for kinks in the tubing running from the tank to the faucet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hommix 2.2 Gallon tank is straightforward for those familiar with standard RO plumbing. The tank comes with a protective plastic holder that should be placed on a flat, clean surface to avoid vibration or tipping.
Compatibility Note: This tank is compatible with most standard reverse osmosis systems using a 1/4" or appropriate industry-standard connection.
Care Instructions:
- Ensure the tank is not exposed to freezing temperatures, which could damage the inner bladder.
- Periodically check the air pressure valve (usually found under a cap on the tank) to ensure it maintains the correct pre-charge pressure, which is essential for proper water delivery.
- Sanitize your system components during annual filter changes to maintain overall water purity.
