Working on some morning coffee thoughts... This one is more along the lines of the old engineer in me solving a problem, not so much being green (I'm already off the water grid with a water well, solar set up in the next few years, so I'm green in other places ).
I want to capture rain water, and push it through my RO system. How can I do this? Is it as simple as getting an immersion pump, throttle back the throughput until the proper PSI is reached and then rig it to my RO intake? (This is what makes sense to me...) But I fear the dirty water pump will not generate enough PSI ( I recall needing 35 psi to make RO/DI water... I'll have to check the manufacture's website for the exact number).
So what's the fix here? How do I get 35 psi out of a rain barrel?
Thank you
