R/O Problem with Well Water
 
Does anyone else have problems making R/O water from a well? I just
replaced both filters & new membrane and it's barely making water. I use a
water softner so I don't get it.

Are some R/O units better than others? Most probably all use the same
membrane.

What's your water pressure and temp of the water? Both can have a major
influence on how well the RO water is coming out/produced.
Too cold and too low of a pressure can slow it down as well as produce more
waste water from what I have read....

Is the supply pressure feeding the unit adequate?

The bladder in the holding tank, if you have one connected, for the R/O
system may not have good pressure. (The bladder may be bad or you may have
lost pressure in the holding tank) You may want to check the pressure with
a tire gage.
