Advice on rodi

Be careful changing your well pumps pressure, it can damage the pump. An electric motor is designed for only so many starts per hour or it overheats, this is usually like 6 starts per hour, They also have what are called its service factor and its duty cycle. The pressure switch is set at 35 psi for a reason. Besides that, raising the well pump pressure is almost always more expensive than buying a dedicated RO booster pump since this is the only piece of equipment that needs the additional pressure.
I started my water career as a well driller back in the early 1970's then later as a pump installer and well development specialist for the next 5 years and things really haven't changed much since as far as wells, pumps and motors.
