yeah fix the pressure with a booster pump and practice smart ro/di use. flush before and after. bypass resin until ro output is low.

i checked my unit after i was halfway done filling my new tank. it read 0 TDS after the ro membrane and that's in Calgary too.

Im eyeing this unit here as it is local to me and a great price

https://maxwaterflow.3dcartstores.co...mps_c_146.html

By the looks of it there are high and low pressure switch options What should I do about those? Would this just make the pump run "on demand" with these? Im hoping for a relatively autonomous solution.

Thanks!

If you are stuck on that co because it is local and you have a 100gpd RO unit then this is what you need.

You never said how many gpd unit you have. There are other units on that page u linked to that would match your gpd ro if you do not have a 100gpd.

The units come with instructions and they will turn on and off automatically when the pressure drops/rises. You just need a 110V outlet under the sink, or wherever your ro unit is located
