RO help needed

[dbjohnso]

Hello all!
I have been looking for an RO system to be used for future w/c's.
My >problem< ?? is this... I have a well with a tank that only produces
about 40lb's of pressure.... Anyone out there in the same situation that does have an RO unit in place that works well ??? It seems like most units I look at say you need 50+ lbs for proper function. Can anyone reccomend a unit for me ?? I do w/c's ever saturday..Usually around 20 gallons and at the end of the month a little more the last saturday so I wouldnt think I need a unit to products large quantities ???

Any help is appreciated....Hope to make a purchase this coming monday!

i think 40 lbs is typically the minimum operating pressure....but regardless, they have booster pumps to overcome this. If you are just at the minimum then im sure you have low points that arent even that. I deal with a similar thing on my well.....i run between 40 and 60 lbs......but especially in the summer when i have irrigation going i can drop below that 40...........

.let me find a link to one of these pumps..........

i get 45lbs at best and in summer more like 35....im going to get the ro and if the pressure doesnt cut it i'll add a booster pump!
