RO Temperature Pressure Effects

The output of an RO system can be affected by both the water temperature and its pressure. The chart below shows the output factors for temperatures and pressures surrounding the 77°F, 65 psi standard.

Select your water temperature and pressure, then multiply the factor times the rated output of your membrane.
