Hi all , it’s that time of year again when temperatures fall and water production slows.
My question is - is it better to keep your RO unit in an insulated cupboard or would it make no difference if it’s sat on the garage floor or sat on top off an ibc ?
Thanks in advance 👍

Im not sure what your question means?
Are you looking to stop your RO freezing up?
Or
Are you looking to increase your water production in the cold temperatures?

Yeah sorry , I’m looking at speeding production up in the cold weather

It won't make any difference as its the colder temperature of the water from the tap that causes the r/o to slow down. It has nothing to do with the r/o's location in a warm environment.

Cheers spruce 👍

The water production is at its lowest at 4 degrees c. As that is its most dence point  the water cannot flow as easily through the membrane.

Below 4 degrees or above the density reduces again and water production increases.

If it goes too far below 4 degrees then water production will cease as the water becomes a solid.
