Hey guys,

My apt building has really low water pressure, probably around 25 PSI. I bought a booster pump for my RODI and it increases the water pressure to 45/50.

Does anyone else have this issue. Is there anything else I can do to increase the water pressure? Alternatively, is there something wrong with my RODI or how I have it set up?

Thanks in advance.

Mine operates at around 40-45 psi and its fine.

I have a BRS 150gpd RODI which uses 2x 75GPD DOW RO membranes. Those membranes are actually rated for 99% rejection at 50PSI. The only issue you will have is lower flow rates than you may have had at 80-90PSI.

Remove all the filters, see how much is the pressure ( ? ) put back , one a the time, monitor pressure, some pump have ability to adjust.

My rodi right from the start had low pressure.

I'll try removing the filters and see if there's a difference.

From my understanding, I though you could only adjust the booster pump pressure down if it was too high, not up.
