So moved to a new house and now my RODI only gets up to about 30psi when it used to be 40-50 on average. My question is, where should I start trouble shooting my unit at to check for problems and could the water pressure at my new place just be too low to reach the 40-50psi range?

I would guess it’s your supply pressure at the new house. Maybe look into a booster pump.

Thats what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure I didn't break something during the move lol
 
You could make sure the gauge is clean and clear, but most likely the water supply. Booster pump time?

Edit - where is the gauge at on the unit? After the sediment filter or futher along?

Is there new media in all the chambers or was the unit allowed to somewhat dry out during the time of your move?
 
Are you talking 30 psi entering rodi unit?

How/where is supply to unit coming from? Saddle valve?

Nope never dried out and no new media
 
So I think I will get a booster pump, just gotta figure out which one works with my unit
