Water presure

What should your water pressure be for optimum RO output? I have been making water to fill up my system. I put all new filters in and have 42 lbs pressure and am only getting maybe 20 gal a day on a 75gpd system.

in the winter you will tend to have reduced pressures and production. 40lbs is the minimum, they usually recommend 60-65 for ideal. in the winter i get about 45, summer it is right at 60.

Maybe I will need a booster pump

Booster pump helps out ALOT I added one and made the biggest difference in the world.

I thought I recalled on BRS or Air, Water, Ice 75 lbs psi recomended.

Make sure you did not lose the flow restrictor in you waste water line. Running without one really slows production.

I installed a gauge a few weeks ago just to see what mine is and its about 65 right now. I have city water and close to a pumping station. I don't know what it is in the summer. I bought the gauge from BRS, they told me I'm fine without a booster at 65 but I'm not sure what the minimum is. I'm guessing a booster pump will do more to get good water through the membrane and not waste so much.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered one from BRS along with a few other things.
