Water running to drain

[Chloe]

I had a problem with low pressure coming out of the faucet from a Proline 5-stage RO unit. I drained the tank, pressured it to 8 lbs, hooked it all up, and turned on the water. The water has been running from the unit to the drain through the red plastic pipe for more than 2 hours. How long should it run to the drain. When does the tank fill and how long does it take?

[Andy CWS]

It should run till the tank fills with water (offsets air pressure) with around 1.2 gallons in a '3-gallon' tank. It may take up to 2-3 hours. Is your tank white with a removable cap?

[Chloe]

It is a white tank with the water valve on the very top and the schrader valve at the bottom side.

Has it stopped by now?

It is still trickling a little off and on. It cycled in the past, but his is not the normal cycle. I have it hooked up to the ice maker and an insinkerator hot/cold faucet. The insinkerator has just started leaking from the unit. Just a few drops at a time.
