Question how to get 10GPH flow???

I forget how much, but I remember there is a formula like if it takes 10 seconds to fill one cup you have about a 10GPH flow.

does anyone know for sure?

or 160 cups per hour (10GPH) which is a cup every 22.5 seconds.

since i brought that up. I'm looking to get a RO/DI or maybe just a RO system that I can hook up in my garage. I don't need to make more than 60 gal a week.

or another option I might want to go for is...

or something that would work nice on my kitchen sink and have a decent flow similar specs

I just bought a portable RO unit on ebay brand new for $34 plus another $35 for shipping, it makes 100 gallons a day , no need to plumb anything except the faucet.
