As mentioned in my earlier post, if you find the PRV in your house, you can usually bump up the pressure. Imagine, free pressure boost from the city, which you are already paying for through your utility bill. If you can do this, why fork out the extra $$ for another add on to your RODI unit with more potential for leaks or other failures? Hook a pressure guage to your water line downstream of the PRV & adjust to 90 psi. I've had mine a shade over that at just over 100 psi for several years no problem, although BFS recommends you not exceed 90 psi. Performance & efficiency of membrane is increased, as is your rate of pure water output.
