Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply.

Water Pressure
  • Models with water filter:

    • 20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa)

  • Where reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to a cold water supply:

    • 40 - 60 psi minimum to reverse osmosis system (2.8 kgf/cm2 - 4.2 kgf/cm2, or less than 2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity)

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):

  • Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

  • Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

  • If the water pressure remains low, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

  • All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
