Hey guys i have a RODI system and i feel like the water flow is very weak, I also have a Booster pump currently at 80 PSI.

Does anyone know what the water flow should be like?

Took me about an 45 minutes to an hour to make 10 gallons of water, Is that normal?

that’s really good compare to my unit. I might need to change all the filters. It’s been almost two years already. My is a 100GPD but now takes almost 2 hours to make a bucket of rodi.

Yea that seems good. For comparison, I have a month old 75gpd 6-stage unit, 50 PSI without a booster. Takes me 2hrs to fill a 5gallon bucket.

10 gallons in 45 minutes is quite fast. What GPD rate membrane(s) are you using?

If i'm not mistaken its a 75 Gallon with an upgraded membrane for a total of 100 GPD

If you’re in fact, getting 10 gallons every 45 mins to an hour, that’s 240 to 320 gallons per day. To me, that seems abnormally fast.
