how much PSI can a RO DI housing take?

Hi
What is the max pressure that one of the clear prefilter/DI 10" housings can take before failure? IOW it springs a leak anywhere. The oring, the quick connects AND EVEN the housing itself (a leak busting through the plastic clear housing).

Also waht is max pressure same as above for a RO housing?

I run 60-80 psi with my pressure increaser. Without it I get 35-45 psi max.

I ask b/c one of my housings itself has a leak, crack in it. Could be from a drop, but possibly not.

TY

60 to 80 should be fine. Mine runs around 100 and there are no problems. Replace the part that has a crack in it.
