What typically requires additional storage capacity in a reverse osmosis system?

In a reverse osmosis (RO) system, the slow production of purified water is a significant factor that typically requires additional storage capacity. RO systems work by pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane to filter out impurities. However, the rate at which purified water is produced can be relatively low, especially if the system is designed for high-quality filtration.

When the production rate is slow, there's a need for a storage tank to hold the purified water until it is needed for use. Without sufficient storage, users may experience frustration with insufficient water availability during peak demand. Therefore, having additional storage capacity helps ensure that a consistent supply of purified water is maintained, regardless of the production speed at any given moment.

While high TDS levels, low input water pressure, and multiple filtrations can impact the efficiency and effectiveness of an RO system, they do not directly necessitate an increase in storage capacity as the slow production of purified water does.
