RO/DI Help

[tlok]

I recently purchased and hooked up a maxima Hi-S 35 gpd unit. My problem is, it recommends a water pressure of 65,and I can only get the pressure up to about 45-50. This causes there to be about 10 times the amount of waste water to RO water. I'm running water from a well. Anyone know a solution or how to get the pressure up??

Can't answer your question but I am looking at getting one.
How big are they? Will they fit under a bathroom sink?
What do you collect the water in?

Kent Marine offers an auxillary electric pressure pump, but they are only recommended on the 50 gpd and up units.
I would contact Kent Marine directly - and see if they may be able to offer you a solution.
My only other suggestion would be to get a new pressure pump and tank for your well, although that can get very costly.

PHIL1964;
The unit has three cannisters and it measures, i would guess about 18in across and 13in high. It may fit under a sink, but it might be somewhat of a pain to get too or work on.
I was going to collect my water in a large plastic garbage can with waste water into a bucket, but as of yet i haven't been able to solve the pressure problem so no water yet....
Thanks broomer, if i can't figure it out, i'll go that route.
