4 stage is what i bought..lol anyways, it fit on the wall by the laundry tub, all hooked up. but i am dissappointed in my house water pressure. it took 4 hrs to get 

about 15 gallons, and the waste is 1 to 4. we are going to get a rainbarrel  and get the waste to the yard stuff. at least its not used daily.

What is your incoming water pressure from the house to the RO/DI unit.......If your water pressure is low you can add a booster pump to increase the water pressure to the unit.  There are other factors that influence production from the unit.  1. being the water quality coming into the unit, another the water pressure, temperature etc.....  There are also other ways to minimize waste water as well.......

im in no hurry on the water, so a booster probably isnt needed, but i am very interested in minimizing the waste water?
