Am interested in a pump for my RO to increase pressure, The only pump I've found will increase it to 80PSI is this too high or will it handle it? My home water pressure will fluctuate between 30-40 mostly around 38PSI
Do you sell RO pumps? I tried to find an RO pump on your site couldn't find one. only one Ive found was one that increased PSI to 80psi and automatically shut down.
Am brand new to RO water and filtration, you can fit what I know about this in a shot glass hahaha
Any help greatly appreciated

From what I understand of the TMC RO is around 40psi, you get like 7tds. What would you need to increase the psi for?

Ive been reading that 50psi should be the minimum and any less, the membrane isn't working efficiently and may limit the life of the membrane? am getting good TDS readings after filtration with the current PSI.
If you tell me am good to go, am cool with it.
I tend, to try to be a perfectionist at times hahaha
Appreciate the help.

Hey! The instructions that come with the unit state that for optimum operation pressure should be at least 50 psi, if below that a booster is recommended. If I remember correctly water temp also played a part in this as well and water that was too cold affected performance as well.

Yup 50 or a little more is optimum. 40+ is fine as well based on Carl experience using them long term.
