The system makes a good supply of drinking water each day.
How much it will make depends primarily on these things…

For water with hardness greater than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH) the use of a
softener is recommended. Failure to install a water softener will reduce
the life of the Reverse Osmosis membrane. See chart for additional
information on the possible need for a water softener.
a. Tested by NSF International according to ANSI/NSF Standard 58 has given 7.1 GPD. Source
water test parameters are 50 psig, 77°F, pH of 7.5 ± 0.5, and 750 ppm total dissolved solids.
b. Removed (maximum of 2.0 ppm) by the Reverse Osmosis prefilter. REGULAR MAINTENANCE
IS REQUIRED. Chlorine will destroy the Reverse Osmosis membrane.
c. If house water pressure is over 125 psi, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply line.
If house water pressure is under 40 psi, install a Reverse Osmosis booster pump (contact your
local plumbing supply company).
