RO/DI Speed

[DOGMAI]

I hooked up my 6 stage RO/DI 100GPD unit last night and let it run for about an hour and a half. It only put out about 2 gallons. I dont even have to do the math to know that does not equal 100 gallons per day. Am i doing something wrong. The good water coming out is barley a trickle.

Thanks,
Shane

Nothing wrong. The GPD rating is dependent on water temperature, water pressure, and like many things, YMMV.

Agreed. In the summer when the water is warmer coming out of my faucet, I'm getting close to my rated gallonage. When it's winter here, I may get 1/2 of it. Water temperature and pressure play a LARGE role.
