    RO Question

    Does anyone know what the lowest pressure is to make good water without a pressure pump? I also am going to invest in a RO/DI system very soon but I have a well. We all know that the pressure with a well pump does go up and down when running. Sounds like it may not work without a pressure...

    Requesting your ideas on this sump

    I really enjoy asking people for imput and I hope this site is friendly in that way because some forums expect you to be an expert and I am not. I feel we all have thing to learn and the more questions asked the more knowledge gained. thanks
