Well I got my RO/DI and ATO hooked up and running today.  Good yes, however frustration still exists.  It looks like the pump out performs the RO unit.  I guess, better to much water than to little.  Curious to hear how ya'll have set up you units.

I'm not sure why that would be frustrating.
No recirculating pressure pump here. At various times through the day, the city pressure at my place is good and other times not. I just live with it, cause on average it makes enough water for my needs.

Do you know your incoming pressure, I think RO/DI's need like 50-60 psi to operate, you may need to turn up your house pressure. I live in North Ogden and I have plenty of pressure, maybe your regulator needs to be adjusted.
The time we enjoy wasting isn't wasted time!!!!

Sorry I kinda checked out on this post.  Everything is great and running fine.  What a wonderful thing to not have to haul water around.  I had to throttle back the pump.  The frustration was that if I had been willing to wait a few more weeks I could have gotten the pump BRS sales specifically  for my RO unit.
