PREPARING FOR USE
Water Pressure
Water Pressure
Traditional RO systems run on water pressure. Your incoming
water pressure has a direct eect on how well your RO system
will perform. With sucient water pressure (max 100 psi), your RO
system will function well and fill up the storage tank quickly.
To test your water pressure, you can use a water pressure
gauge from your hardware store that connects onto your sink or
garden faucet. Turn on the water all the way to FULL, and take a
reading. Some areas may have dierent water pressure during
the day and night. To get an accurate measurement, take several
measurements at dierent times of the day and average them out.
If the tank takes too long to fill up, you may have insucient water
pressure (below 35 psi) and may need to add a pump to increase
your water pressure. The type of booster pump that you may need
will vary depending upon your specific usage and situation.
Non-standard installation (external booster pump or diverting
water to a secondary outlet) may reduce the filter life or impact the
system’s operation.
