3 hours in the summer when the water and air temp is warmer.
Bit longer this time of year.
I use a pumped 400 gpd RO.

how long is a piece of string? It is dependant on what ro you use as to how quick it will produce.

Mark, I think that is why combat was asking.

I was wondering what ro combat was using. Then i could get to know the answer as well then. :)

I use a 300gpd ro with pump and it takes around 4 - 5 hours.

I use an osmotics 100gpd ro that has an upgrade so that makes it a 200gpd unit. Sediment and carbon pre filters and a 10'' resin chamber with a booster pump. I was wondering if my membranes needed changing. I need to change the resin every week and I make around 400 - 500 litres a week.
