Water Filter Reviews & Performance Ratings read more.

Most homes on city water average between 55 psi - 65 psi of static water pressure. This system operates best between 20-50 psi. As you can speculate, operating this system under water pressure higher than it is optimally built for can cause the life of this system to be shortened; it could even break.
