I've had my RODI unit for about two months now and I've notice production of clean water has dropped of drastically. To start troubleshooting I picked up a pressure gauge and measured water pressure in two locations. Water pressure out of the faucet measures 36psi. I then moved the pressure gauge between the carbon filters and the RO membrane; here pressure measures only 26psi.
Air Water & Ice state that the RO membrane needs a minimum of 30psi to produce clean water. My question for you all is has anyone measured their water pressure like this in multiple locations? Is it expected that restriction through carbon filters would cause a 10psi drop or is this a sign of dirty\damaged carbon prefilters?
