Is this a good choice for low pressure water systems?

My water pressure won't win any races either, but I found this worked just fine for my purposes. I have a lot of hanging plants and tender veggies that I don't want a full force spray to damage them either.

Don't think that's a good idea. Too much pressure and water flow. This is meant to be more of a gravity - feed water filtering system.

I am not a plumber but I can tell you that it's not fantastic. My water pressure isn't great to begin with but I would rate it mid range. Not great, not horrible.

You should be all right. There's a gauge on the system that tells you if the pressure is good enough. The Better the pressure the more efficient the filter is

I used it. We have fairly soft water but it varies according to which reservoir is sourced. These units, i understand, are vulnerable to lime deposits so you have to back flush with vinegar periodically I opted for a filter too and you use these valves to change the cartridge. So if you have really soft water maybe you can avoid the extra expense and or work puzzle solving on the installation.

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!

I have a 5 micron filter in there. When it is new I do notice a noticeable drop in pressure on the cold water line. It's good on the hot water. Strange. It's about 10 lb less on the cold water line. Which I don't like. I used 3/4 copper pipe.

because this system is designed to be price effective. some people would call it cheap, i just call it well-engineered Most other systems are over-engineered, at least for a system of this scale. If your only looking 10gallons/day this system is adequate. More expensive systems would have less tendency for leaks and possibly produce water more efficiently. this systems uses plastic connectors, while more expensive units most likely use brass compression fittings. and while the parts are cheap, the work well. my system has functioned well for 6months now, and I make 5gallons/day. a good filter system does just that, filter water. you can make it fancy and pretty and add some bells and whistles, but its still just water moving through a filter, and that's just what this system does. for me, ot been great; good tasting, low-ppm water; no leaks; and cheap! :) if you need a rugged system that will move around, like on a boat or r.v., then this system might get leaky; but for a house with a family who wants drinking water, its great

I found it just about the same as the Python but with less water leakage from the tap. To answer your question, yes, I would get it especially if it alleviates from having to use an extension.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

ABSOLUTELY. I live in Colorado and right now my incoming water is below that (sometimes in the 30's) and it works fine. Now, It will have a difficult time running 2 things like a shower and a sink at that temp but with 1.75gpm you will be set. I've had mine for about a year and love it. This is the 4th tankless water heater I've had and couldn't be happier, it works flawlessly.

If you are looking for relatively low flow but quiet and reliable it works fine. Granted i only had it pumping maybe 8 inches of lift but at that height if works great. Not sure exactly how much water it moves but i would venture a gal or so a min. I use it to move water from a planted container to a container beside it housing goldfish for over-wintering. I don't want the fish eating my plants but want the plants well fertilized and this pump plus a return siphon do the job very nicely.

It is very adequate. You probably need good pressure on the input side for this to work well. we had no issues with water pressure.

My system is pressure regulated..I was very skectical About it working. .but it works great so far

The flow rate is lower than a standard hose. However, the pressure should be adequate for your purpose.

This pump has an automatic pressure shutoff. I think it would work fine for your purpose.

Yes, I would recommend it. Otherwise, you'll be fighting the water pressure during removal and installation
