What is the operating pressure for this membrane? My homes water pressure is 45psi.

45 psi will work although it's on the lower end of the spectrum. All RO membranes operate more efficiently with higher psi. You could add a booster pump to increase the rejection rate and produce RO water faster.

I use it with well water pressure about 45 psi Not sure how high you can go

Amazing...3 answers and all of them completely wrong. The question isn't for the flow rating in liters of a 50 gpd membrane, anybody with a calculator and the number 0.38 can do that. He's asking what the flow rating is for the part itself, which should be about 4 times the membrane it's meant for. Having looked up the part number, I can say it's 550 ml/min, or alternatively 209 gpd. Sorry I'm about 9 months late :)

Measured 1 gallon in 30 seconds = 2.0 gpm. I think my pressure is fairly high. Hot water did last longer than the old 2.5 gpm head which actually used 2.6 gpm.

It doesn't say on the box, but I run mine at normal well pressure of 40 - 60psi.

Hi, we also have a well and our water pressure is not real great but this still works very well. I am very happy with it, works great.

I do not know, but it works quite well with the water pressure in my house.

not sure. It failed on me after a few weeks of high pressure use with water. (80 psi).

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!

When you have it on the filter setting yes .If the filter itself is properly set up, it is not greatly diminished when filtering. When the filter is not being used,it should be normal pressure.

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

pretty high pressure. I make sure not to let it hit the grout in my shower.

The pump will only add 35psi to the existing water pressure. I have a pressure guage after the pump that shows 70psi when it comes on because my water pressure is 35psi from the main supply. You are supposed to have a pressure regulator before the pump to regulate the pressure so the total pressure does not exceed what your plumbing could handle. Which is usually about 70 PSI. Hope this helps.

I'd check out this model instead, it's a 40/60 unit - Square D by Schneider Electric FSG2J24CP 40-60 PSI Pumptrol Water Pressure Switch

DH recommends 35 psi to a maximum of 80 psi.Pretty much any standard house hold water pressure should work.

50gpd membranes are pretty much standard 11.3/4 - 1 3/4.Mine is installed so I can not measure and confirm.I hope this helps.Gary

It works great. With this regulator my pressure stays at 45 psi. I love it!
