Default 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

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

I would agree. Its rubbish having to pay extra when you didn't expect it but I'd pay $65 any day over hundreds of trips to safeway

i use the faucet adapter, so when im not using the system what do i do with it? put it away wet or drain it or what? ive never used one of these things before so maybe i don't even have it hooked up right or something. i don't know anything about it.

The RO membrane needs to stay wet.
So put it away wet.

I'd pay 65 over one trip to the store to carry water back
