14-gallon tank’s delivery pressure:
10 gallons —> 50 psi output pressure ( pressure inside tank )
9.0 gallon —> 40 psi
7.8 gallon —> 30 psi
6.1 gallon —> 20 psi
3.3 gallon —> 14 psi
1.6 gallon —> 10 psi
Tank empty —> 7 psi ( pre-charged pressure )
8) Ice-Maker Inlet Pressure Requirement:
If your ice-maker requires a minimum input water pressure of 20-30psi, you need to have at least
50+psi input water pressure going into your non-pump RO system. If your water pressure is under
50psi, the tank will not fill up enough, and the delivery pressure to your ice-maker may be sluggish
and unstable. To boost output pressure, you can add a Permeate Pump to your RO system.
9) Feeding Multiple Outlets:
Feeding the filtered water to multiple outlets is do-able. The key is choosing the right RO model that
fits your house’s water pressure level. This model should fill up the tank quickly and fully. A frequently
full tank will then provide good delivery pressure to feed the multiple outlets in your house. You
should get the 14 gallon tank upgrade, this bigger tank holds 3 times more water than the standard
4gal tank. It will give you the extra water and delivery pressure you need to feed the remote points.
We suggest limiting output points to no more than 3 outlets. Total tubing distance should be within
40 ft. horizontal and 15 ft. vertical from the RO system.
10) How to Test Your Water Pressure:
Get a water pressure gauge that adapts onto your sink or garden faucet (from hardware store),
attach gauge onto faucet, turn water on to FULL, then take a reading.
For some areas, water pressure is lower during the day and higher at night when less people are
using water. So to get an accurate average, take several measurements at different times of the day
and average them out.
