RO unit is only at 30psi
We just moved and upon hooking up my ro unit the gauge only reads 30psi. It took all day to make what usually takes 4-5 hours. Do I need a booster pump?
What can I do instead of a booster pump...could I do a straight DI unit or something different?

what is your water temp? the colder the slower (unless a booster is used). it takes me longer too to make water, for now i barely make water

it is pretty cold but we only moved about 10 miles away so it's comparable to the old house.

Yep, you'll need a booster pump to get your water pressure up.
