I have an RODI 5 stage with a DI bypass for drinking water. I have had a pressurized container for quite some time and I am curious how to hook it up.

The tank only has one valve on top and a tire valve for pressurized air on the bottom. Does anyone have an idea how to hook this up?

It is a 3 gallon tank.
 
You'll need a Tee between your DI bypass line (input), pressure container, and your output. Basically, the pressure container is increasing the volume of water between the RO filter and your tap. I hope that makes sense.
 
Haven't got a response from pm so I'm bumping this up. Here is a picture of the tank.

There is only one place for water to go in or out so I am rather confused about this thing.

I see what your saying. Does this mean I have to have a spout for this to work?
 
You install a tee in the RO only treated water line with the side outlet facing the pressure tank and and a short piece of 1/4" line between the tank and tee. The tank floats on the line, it does not have seperate in and out lines. Make sure you have a check valve in your DI line so you do not use pressurized water to make DI, only water straight from the RO membrane so you do not suffer the effects of TDS creep.


Follow theses diagrams and you should be OK.
