*Assumes feed water TDS of 1,000 and temperature of 77°F (+-10%)
** Optional 600 gpd membrane available for RObust 500 & RObust 500 PRO.
Install a booster pump if pressure is low; pressure regulator is pressure exceeds upper limit.
Using the RObust with feed water temperature between 68° & 86°F produces a lower rejection rate and higher flow rate, which yields higher TDS of purified water. Do not use where temperatures exceed 86°F.
