Additionally, it is necessary to  have adequate flow rates and pressure.  The Z-Series RO is equipped with safety devices  to shut down the unit when the pressure falls below 10 PSI.  If flow rates drop below the  required level the pressure will drop as well, causing the RO to shut down.   It is important to run water at the design flow rate whe
