60 PSI, do i need a booster pump?

[jayinh]

i was wondering, is this considered low? normal? ok?

should i get a booster pump for my RODI ? sometimes it dips below 60 PSI but if it does i turn it off and wait for pressure to return.

60 is considered good. unlike my 20psi, which is considered useless...

Wow 60! You're more than fine.

You're good to go, no booster pump needed.

Mine is around 60, and with a 75 GPD Dow FilmTec RO membrane, I can fill up a 5 gallon bucket in 90 to 105 minutes.

Me too.... 60psi and looking good, I believe most RO/DI units will work well if you can maintain above 40PSI... I'm sure it depends on the incoming TDS and the individual unit.

They are tested at F at 60 psi. 40 is minimal. Mine runs at 120 psi, it just produces more water.

thanks for all the good reply's. i will go pump-less and use the money on another item.

Not necessary but booster will reduce waste water and slightly reduce TDS. 70 psi inlet is usually what is considered optimum. Not sure if the gain is worth the extra$$$ ? If you are running it with a pressure tank then the additional pressure with a 90% ASV is great for ice maker , faucet pressure etc but if an open system prob not really worth it.
