RO pressure?

[jschall]

My water pressure is like 38 PSI, would I be able to run an RO unit? I only need the smallest one available (24gpd.) In fact, I'd be just fine with 4gpd. Couldn't care less about waste water, as long as there's not SO much waste water that it's cycling my well pump frequently.

You might put a pressure regulator in line before it. I believe most RO setups run about 25-30psi, but I could be wrong. Besides, pressure regulators are only $9 or so at the hardware store.

I thought they run at 60psi, but maybe that was a maximum.

Like I said, I could be wrong. But it might also depend on the particular unit as well.
