--= how do i get my water pressure up for ro/di unit? =--

[J Crew]

my water pressure is pretty low on my ro/di unit. i was wondering if there's anything i can do to up it? here is a pic so you can see what i mean:

you can see that's it's not even reached what it considers the operating level. i can tell you though that it is producing ro/di water... as i'm currently filling up my 55gal for the first time.

also, if you look closely you should notice a small drop of water right under this pressure gauge. it is leaking a very, i mean very small amount from that gauge. maybe one drop per minute. i wouldn't think this would effect water pressure much if any. since i've never had one of these or ever done this before, i'm not sure if it's normal for these units to leak alittle like this... or if this is a normal amount of water pressure. any advice or help is appreciated. thanks

I have heard of reefers using water pressure boosters but I have never seen them.. and don't know where they got them or what they cost.. but I do know that they exist.

hi.
Most reef HW store sells booster pump for RO unit. Check out marinedepot.com or spectrapure.com or some other places.
