with a small heater. This will raise the inbound temp and should get better output from your RO unit.

Will take more than a small heater to make any appreciable difference. I can do the math if any body really wants it done to know how big a heater would be needed.

I won't make you do the math Fatman, The display tank is about 3 inches from the top and then all I have left to fill is the sump. Hopefully another 2 days or so and I'll have the system running. Thanks anyways!

I used to use well water, but my well water was really great. It depends on the quality. Then I moved to a diff house and bought one of those cheap ro units for 99. on ebay. I finally just figured out that it is much cheaper to go to the local grocery store and fill up a few 5 gallons there.
