Is this a good choice for low pressure water systems?

My water pressure won't win any races either, but I found this worked just fine for my purposes. I have a lot of hanging plants and tender veggies that I don't want a full force spray to damage them either.

i use on a system with 120 psi output. it is a very compact unit. works as designed. a plus is the drain valve in the body.

It would be fine but bear in mind the ceramic element is fragile. I'd go with the Allied Precision The Premier Line 742G Bucket Water Heater which costs less and won't break. The only advantage I know of would be this will operate in shallower conditions- guessing 2 versus 6 inches water depth minimum. gfci must!

it's fantastic, but try to only use distilled water. it works better! Its has pressure dial.

I don't think water pressure has much to do with this unit, I am very happy with mine, it is more with pressure in the house, and I know water pressure is an issue in my house.

It's more the filter housing that handles the pressure. as far as the filter goes 100 psi wont hurt it, but RO filters are more effective at 60 or so. 100 psi is excessive and hard on the rest of your plumbing, you might consider installing a regulator. IMHO...

Water pressure is really good for me. But all parts are plastic be carefull when you install it.

The pressure doesn't seem high to me unless I twist the unit to engage the "massage" feature, which I never do anyway. My home water pressure is between 40 & 60 psi, which is the most common range in the US, so you should be good to go unless you have unusually high pressure like people sometimes get with public utilities when they are very close to a water tower.

Yes - that's what I used mine for. I put it on a timer so it only runs during waking hours. My water pressure is slightly below 70 psi and there are no problems.

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

The faucet operates very easily and is a nice working height. Flow rate is just a little low but adequate. We are on a rural water system and pressure is a little low to begin with.

I think it would work but the water pressure may not be as strong as you would like it to be.

if you are thinking of installing the filter system on the main water line, I think it would reduce your water pressure greatly.

I have a 5 micron filter in there. When it is new I do notice a noticeable drop in pressure on the cold water line. It's good on the hot water. Strange. It's about 10 lb less on the cold water line. Which I don't like. I used 3/4 copper pipe.

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

Yes, and that will not affect their psi rating. They still will be safe at pressures less than 90 psi. However unless you plan to use a finer filter cartridge for the secondary filter, the primary filter will do all the work and the secondary filter will be of very little value. As a practical example a primary filter rated at 50 microns and a secondary at 10 microns would make sense. That way the primary would catch matter above 50 microns and the secondary would catch matter between 50 and 10 microns. Particles smaller than 10 microns would pass through the array. These are large filters, so most people just use one for the whole house. You will probably find that you need to change the cartridges every 6-12 months depending on how clean your water is.

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.
