Rodi system - has anyone raised your water pressure up 5-10 psi?

[antrageous]

Hi, I am currently getting 62 psi from my water source at home. Has anyone ever raised your water pressure 5 psi to reach the minimum 65-80psi for the bigger rodi systems requirements (150/200 gpd)?

Curious on how others use a bigger rodi system and while getting the standard 60psi household pressure. I prefer not to get a Booster pump for just 3psi.
Thanks

The water pressure in my residence is lowered to 60 psi with a pressure valve where the cold. water comes into the house. If you have a similar set up, you can easily increase the water pressure in the whole house by adjusting the pressure valve assuming you have more pressure at the meter before the home pressure valve?

Thanks KrisReef! I watched some vids on how to do this but was uncertain if it was safe. I'll check my water valve and try this. Thanks!

Turned my pressure up to 70PSI without an issue. The only downside is the pressure in my shower will knock you over if your not ready for it. lol
