RO Unit PSI

[drew2005]

Finally got my RO/DI unit hoooked up. Im getting between 70-72psi. Its a Kent Maxxima 60gpd. All filters are brand new. Is this psi good enough?

Is that 70-72 on input side...?

I think so. Its the gauge on the membrane. Im assuming thats the input PSI.

70s on input is a decent range...
What is your out put volume like...? Are you getting 60gpd or 2.5 gph...?
You don't want to run much under 50 psi input pressure...
I'm on a well system with 40psi output so I run an in line pump to bump it up to 90...

Its not that great. Considering the membrane and cartridges are new. Im getting about 2.5 gallons per 1.5 hours. Im assuming either the membrane needs the 10 day "break in" or the TDS of my tap water is high.
