High temps, how to protect tank?

Easy enough to test, and the tubing is cheap!

After doesn't matter at all. (Since it just trickles out of there anyhow.)

But, there is a minimum amount of pressure required before the r/o membrane.

I just think any normal house pressure would be adequate to pump water 100 feet through 1/4" line. There must be a formula for figuring this out there, any fluid dynamics people out there? I haven't touched that subject since second year engineering!

It was mentioned to keep a fan handy for the nano, this would be good for both tanks actually.

I have absolutely no pressure problems.

You can always get 3/8 tubing.


Also the increase in temp will help your ROs efficiency. I saw 40 gpd before and 55 gpd after.
