Ro/di help

The unit won't run past 30 psi no matter what it's not leaking anywhere so not sure why it won't run higher? Most of the unit was already assembled when I bought it. It is a puratek 100gpd unit

Is this backwards?

Check the inlet pressure to the unit. It should be 60

That will tell you the incoming pressure. You should have a regulator on your incoming line to the house, maybe it needs to be turned up.

I live in a townhouse but where would I find it?

[hillegom]

Is there a maintenance person for the complex that you could ask?
Otherwise, in a house it is located where the water enters the buildiing. ( inside the house) Where the main shutoff is.

you probably wont. I also live in a townhouse and as they try to make us all use less water they put a tiny line onto each tap in the house so you have bugger all pressure. my unit wont go past 20psi without a booster pump.

my water lines are all connected to the main in the cupboard under the stairs in the garage where my water tank is. the mains are tiny so I have no way of increasing pressure.
