no problem with cold (but hot will wreak the membrane) but what the 77° temperature is about, is that's the water temp the membrane's output is spec'd at. Colder less output, some idea for pressure.

Some links here that give an idea of roll off.

airwaterice.com where I bought my unit says that for every 1ºF below 77ºF you lose 1.3% For me this was quite noticeable so I now have my unit plumbed to both the cold water line and the hot water tank. Another option is to coil up and submerse several feet of your input line in a bucket full of water with a heater.
