Make sure you rest your pressure and compare that against the recommended settings of your RODI unit. In my case, I had to buy and install a booster pump (very easy to do) to get the PSI up.
I don’t really forsee and issue with that being that we don’t have city water or anything we have well water so our pressure should be good
I urge you to check. RODI units often have a posted PSI in the user manual at which they run optimally. Running your unit at too low a PSI will result in it not filtering correctly and/or your filters expiring more quickly than they should.
I also don’t have a pressure gauge to check it lol, I do have a tds meter attached after the final stage so if I notice that I have anything above 0 tds I’ll shut it down
Something like this is all you would need. Goes right in line on your RODI unit just before the reverse osmosis filters.

Yeah I know but at this point I can’t even get it to work because the connector leaks like crazy and sprays water all over no matter how tight I make it so I need to see if I can find a new hose connection fitting and if I can’t or if it still doesn’t work I am just going to get a new RODI unit that has all that built in from the startSomething like this is all you would need.

Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge 1-100 PSI
Why does BRS recommend this? The Glycerin filled pressure gauges are our preferred gauge. Compared to an air-filled gauge they will be much quieter as water has a tendency to vibrate when running, as well as lasting much longer as the oil in the gauge will soak up the vibrations which can cause...
I got it a long time ago when I was planning on having a tank and then my situation changed and it wasn’t possible I believe it’s a coralife one? If I’m remembering right, and no pest at all I like people looking out for me I appreciate it!
Well looks like booster pump is probably going to be required, I finally got everything working and the production is super super slow so I ordered a pressure gauge and booster pump from BRS so hopefully that will finally complete my setup for that
Well I pretty much have my scape figured out, and I already have my sand and everything else really just need to get the Rodi finally figured out and finished and get some water mixed up then it’s just gonna be a matter of waiting for the tank to get here and set that all up
I am seeming to have a problem with RODI system though I’ve ran through about 10 gallons and I know that’s the break in period but it was running at 0 TDS then for some reason now it’s running at 1 and 2 tds
I just got it up and running yesterday and don’t have a flushing system on it
I tried it again this morning and it’s now skyrocketed to 12-15 tds so I’m guessing maybe at some point when the house pump kicked on it may have boosted the pressure over 90 and messed up the membrane so I have ordered a new membrane and hopefully that works if not then I guess I’ll just get a whole new unit which would not be fun being that I already dumped so much more money into this unit
