2.0 INSTALLATION Before starting the installation, you should measure the water pressure that is avail- able under the sink to power the Pure Water machine RO. If the pressure is less than 40- PSIG, it is too low; and if it is 90-PSIG, it may be too high. The solution if the pressure is too low is to use a model with a booster pump. -

The membrane is a replica- tion of human or animal stomach tissue, which permits the water molecule to pass through, and holds dissolved molecules back. This is done naturally by osmotic pressure developed because of the content of dissolved solids.
