My unit just won't produce much water! My gauge is reading 80psi and will hold 80 psi even when I shut off the source water. I'm at my wits end with this puratek pos!

What color is your pre-filter ? It could be plugged ...
8 months isn't bad but it could be pushing the limit for your area's source water

Did you say you made a 100 gal total or just recently. How much water have you made overall? If a lot, then check your filters as gregzz says. From my first post, check the pressures after each filter.
