I am wondering what is more important: Incoming temp or pressure. I have the purely h20 optima 75gpd and only seem to get about 5g every 2 hours. The temp is 60 going in and the pressure fluctuates between 55-60psi. Should I get a booster pump or heat the water. What would be better?

75 gallons per day is roughly 3 gallons per hour. That output is a rough standard: it could be 2.5 per hour or even 3.5 per hour, but if you think 5 gallons in 2 hours is slow then you may have to change your pre-filters. You could even have an improperly cut hose restricting the flow in one of the connectors. I don't think tempurature is your problem. Since most units are rated above 35 psi, I don't think water pressure is your problem either.
