How did you determine that when the OP said he did not know what his pressure was?
Common sense, homes dont have enough pressure for that stuff.just think of a refrigerator that has a water dispenser

Lots of homes have plenty of water pressure for a RODI system. Not sure what a water dispenser in a refrigerator has to do with a RODI system.

I jus installed a gauge before my ro/di and I’m getting 100psi to the gauge with the ro/di “shut off” and no less than 90 psi while it’s running.

Are you sure you’re pressure is too low? Mine is the same way but my pressure is way too high. I bought a brs gauge to check my pressure and I’m up over 100psi so I’m having to put a pressure reducing valve to get my pressure down.

I have the same problem low production of ro and high wastewater production. I added a gauge and am getting over 100psi so I ordered a pressure reducing valve to bump it down to 60-75psi. So it’s not a good assumption that you have low pressure jus cause your having low clean to waste production.

I tead through this thread, I would not run hot water. I would also get a pressure gauge and see what you incoming water pressure is. If it is low like below 50 to 60 you will help your output of clean watef by adding a booster pump.
