Slow RO/DI on a 1HP Well 40 psi 53F


I recently bought a 100 gpd from Marc@Melev's Reef. I'm not even seeing 25 gpd. It's probably because I'm on a 1HP well @ 40 psi and the water is cold (53F).

I'm trying the coiled in-let hose in a bucket of 76F water to see if it helps any...doesn't seem to yet.

Any ideas on how I might improve my water output?

Thanks in advance

Jim ( Fahz ) is the expert but it sounds like you need a booster pump. I think the #1 cause is the low pressure. I'm sure he would be able to tell you what the minimum pressure should be, but I'm fairly certain yours is way too low.....

Booster Pump


I had the same problem and was able to resolve it with a booster pump. Huge difference. Don't know if there are any details that need to be addressed with a well though.
