^ Yep, that just means the flow will slow, it doesn't mean it damages the RO membrane.

Example...my 50 gph unit takes about 2 1/2 hours to fill a 5g jug if I use straight cold water. If I use luke-warm water (prob around 75-80 degrees) it only takes about 1 1/2 hours to fill. BUT, I'm introducing a higher TDS to my RO membrane if I use warm water, so I'll save the RO membrane, and deal with the slow water flow.

I was told thats units shouldnt be run all the time. They need to stay running for 15 minutes or more ... ie to keep a resevoir filled by a float valve.. So now my controller tells me every 4 days to run my ro unit and top my resevoir up. Doing this allows the unit to run for 2 hrs to fill my container opposed to on off on off throughout the day.. Works for me
