Air, Water & Ice: Your Trusted Source for Quality RO Pressure Tanks!
RO pressure tanks, also known as bladder tanks, hydro-pneumatic bladder tanks, or captive air tanks, are essential components of RO water systems. These tanks operate by filling a food-safe bladder with water, which is surrounded by an air cushion, allowing the tank to dispense water effectively.
Not all bladder tanks are built the same. Tanks designed specifically for reverse osmosis water storage feature stainless steel connection points, which are resistant to corrosion, unlike common steel used in regular water storage tanks. Our RO tanks can be used either horizontally or vertically without affecting performance.
Re-Pressuring Your Tank: The Process
If your RO water tank’s performance is declining, try re-pressurizing it before considering a replacement. You’ll need a pressure gauge and a bike tire pump.
- Locate the Schrader Valve: Found at the base of the tank, it looks like a bike tire valve.
- Check for Leaks: Attach the pressure gauge to the valve. If water comes out, the tank is irreparable.
- Empty the Tank: Ensure all water is drained.
- Pressurize: Pump air until the tank reaches 7-9 lbs of pressure.
*Note: We offer a comprehensive warranty on our tanks: a full replacement in the first year, 50% off in the second, and 33% off in the third.
Our RO Pressure Tanks Products
At Air, Water & Ice, we offer a variety of RO pressure tanks suitable for drinking water kit and saltwater aquarium systems. Explore our available sizes and accessories:
2.2 Gallon Storage RO Tank
This is currently our lowest-capacity RO pressure tank. The 2.2 gallon NSF certified RO pressure tank, hydro-pneumatic bladder, and captive air tank are all commonly used names for this water storage tank.
It works when water fills a food safe bladder which is then surrounded by a cushion of air, earning it the name of “bladder tank.” Dimensions for this size tank are 14” x 9”, weight 7 pounds, and a rating of up to 75 psi.
3.2 Gallon Storage RO Tank
A step up is the 3.2 gallon storage RO tank. The dimensions of this higher capacity tank are 11” x 15”, with a weight of 8.08 pounds. If you need a bit larger of a drinking water solution, this tank is a better fit for you.
Note: The ¼” quick connect tank ball valve is not included in the purchase of the 3.2 gallon RO pressure tank.
5.2 Gallon Storage RO Tank
This larger-sized RO tank is rated for up to 100 psi. Dimensions for this tank are 12” x 18”, and its overall weight is 10.24 pounds. Please note that you can add the ¼” and 3/8” tank ball valve but the valves are not included with the base RO tank.
The 5.2 gallon storage tank has an Air, Water, & Ice warranty that includes a one-year full replacement, second year get 50%, and third year get a 33% discount.
10.7 Gallon Storage RO Tank

The rating for the 10.7 gallon RO pressure tank is 90 psi. Please see our reviews which demonstrate the quality of this RO pressure tank!

In addition to your purchase of RO pressure tanks, you may likely need the tank ball valve elbow part (available in either the 1/4” or 3/8” size). We also have the stainless steel 150 PSI gauge available to add to your RO or RODI unit.
