i have a whirlpool WHER 25 with original tank right now, would like to "upgrade" to a larger tank. Anyone have this connected to same RO system?

Yes we do, it's an easy install, and works great.it does take more space under the sink though.

No, I use this just to a drinking faucet and we like I don't know how would it work in to a larger tank, but you look it at googol you tube videos, that is how I do it.

The tank type should not matter. What does matter is if your RO has a pump get a tank without a blatter. If no pump you need a tank with a blatter to push the water. Most problem tanks are due to blatter failure.

I do not have a Whirlpool system, but I bought this replacement tank and it works great. My system pressure is like new :>)

The system is 15 1/2 inches wide, 17 1/2 inches tall, by 5 1/2 deep. The tank is 10 inches in round. You might want to consider the watts Premier RO Pure 531411 4 stage RO System. It takes much less space, and the filters are easier to replace.

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

I'm not familiar with the RO system model mentioned but my RO system is Model RO 5 Watts. If you have a Watts RO system, please check with www.wattspremier.com for the right filter for your system. The sediment and carbon filters fits a 10" Housing-Filter. Hope this information helps.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

I don't think it matters what RO system you have. If it has the option for a reserve tank and the fitting works, then it should fill with water.

as long as you can connect it, any ro system will work. they make adapters if needed but I doubt you will need any. if you do , home depot or amazon will have them. I have the air gap on mine with no issues. you will need a seperate air-gap , also on here for about 8.00 . the whirlpool one was a combo unit. the gap goes in the waste line, just be sure it mounted above the the drain as high as possible under the sink.

You need to cross reference your Whirlpool Ref on the web site against the WSW web site http://www.watersentinelfilters.com/products/refrigerator/wsw1.html. FYI - "GD5SHG" can not be found on the Whirlpool web site.

I'm not sure if you can go bigger, but I don't know why not... As an alternative, I purchased a second tank, purchased a T connector and run both tanks at the same time. Just adding the second tank was enough to make sure we have all the filtered water we need. We never run out. I'm sure you could add more than one in series. You'd have to weight the costs of a larger tank or adding small tank(s) to the series. Hope this helps.

our whirlpool system worked after we attached the fitting to the tank and it worked. we really did not have any instruction

I used this replacement with a Whirlpool RO system. I also replaced all the valves though with brass and a shut off for easier future maintenance.

Its really easy to modify this if it does not fit your tank. check out Youtube.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

These things are made to "plug and play" so adapting to another brand would mean more headache than worth. Also tank flow restriction is made to match their taps. might be worth upgrading tank to make it simple...

Mine is a Hague RO system. I bought this to replace a tank with a failed air bladder. I simply took the top fitting from my old tank and screwed it onto the new tank. Size and threads were the same as my old tank. Didn't have to pump up the bladder either, it was pre-charged.

Dragon, I believe so your has the same motor and pump as my configuration the only difference fro mine is tank size.

Have you opened the case? Is it the tank itself or a piece of burned plastic tubing? Othewise the answer is yes. The tank/heater part is separate from the hot water spiget and is very easy to switch. However, is the plastic tubing is the problem, you do not need the whole new unit. Just make sure that the replacement tubing is heat resistant. Hope it helps. Lena
