Reverse osmosis filtration uses high pressure (100–800 psi) to force water through a semi-permeable membrane that filters out dissolved ions, molecules, and solids (nanofiltration). This process can both remove microbiologic contamination and desalinate water.
What is the minimum pressure necessary to force water through an RO membrane?
For RO to function, a minimum pressure of 1 psi is required for every 100 ppm of TDS. In this case, 15 psi of pressure is needed to force a single drop of water through the membrane. This is known as Osmotic Pressure (Π) and is calculated by the equation (Π = TDS/100).
What is standard recommended water pressure for RO water purifier?

How much pressure does reverse osmosis require?
The ideal pressure for operating an RO system is 60 PSI. Pressure below 40 PSI is generally considered insufficient, and should be boosted using a pressure booster pump.

What happens if RO tank pressure is too high?
Pressure Imbalance in the RO Tank If the pressure inside the tank is too low, the water stored in the RO tank won't flow out into the faucets. Conversely, if the tank pressure is too high, water flowing from the filters won't enter the RO tank.
