FAQ Content:
Water pressure is necessary to force the water through the membrane and to flush the rejected solids out of the element, and is directly related to production and quality of filtration. Low pressure can result in low production, low rejection, and premature fouling of the membrane.
The ideal pressure for an RO System is approximately 60 PSI. Generally anything between 40 PSI and 60 PSI is considered acceptable. If your water pressure is below 40 PSI, a booster pump is required to boost the water pressure.
