Low water output from Kinetico K2 System
I have a Kinetico K2 Reverse osmosis system and all I can get is about one glass of water before it stops. The syste is about 7 years old. What do I need to do?

A couple of things can cause this type of symptom. Either the bladder is water-logged due to a 'pinhole' leak and filling the bladder with water. This is hopeless and needs to be replaced.
Or the schrader valve is leaking. This can be replaced.
Most newer plastic tanks have a removable bladder but older steel tanks do not.
If you bleed thwe air out of the valve and water comes out, the bladder is shot.
