Is this a good choice for low pressure water systems?

My water pressure won't win any races either, but I found this worked just fine for my purposes. I have a lot of hanging plants and tender veggies that I don't want a full force spray to damage them either.

I used it. We have fairly soft water but it varies according to which reservoir is sourced. These units, i understand, are vulnerable to lime deposits so you have to back flush with vinegar periodically I opted for a filter too and you use these valves to change the cartridge. So if you have really soft water maybe you can avoid the extra expense and or work puzzle solving on the installation.

I think it would work but the water pressure may not be as strong as you would like it to be.

I have had this model for about 3 months and my pressure is high ( I do have a water pressure reducing valve in my line), my sink is standard depth and I do get splashing when the water is turned on. I do think it would work with low pressure.

Yes. I use it for my whole house. If I have more than 2 faucets running the pressure drops do to the heating element slowing down the water.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

Not sure - our water pressure was approximately 70 psi and it works great. I believe the specs state that you must have, at a minimum, 50 psi. 35 psi sounds a little on the low side and would probably not work (of if it did, it probably wouldn't work very well).

Yes, you can adjust the regulator to 30psi. Problem is, it is a small tank, so the pressure drops fairly quickly. If operating under 30psi is not an issue, then this will do the job. If you need a constant 30psi, then you may want something else. Hope this helps.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

The flow rate is lower than a standard hose. However, the pressure should be adequate for your purpose.

Works good at my house and water pressure is low generally here. This unit has better pressure than the other shower in my house

I can't speak to the value of having high and low pressure extremes presented in the marketing materials? However, the pump has worked great for us. Set it up, connected the pipes, turned it on and it has worked great since.

It is very adequate. You probably need good pressure on the input side for this to work well. we had no issues with water pressure.

Don't think that's a good idea. Too much pressure and water flow. This is meant to be more of a gravity - feed water filtering system.

The lowest my pressure goes down to is about 45 psi as I live with a well. The flow control of this "plus" model compensates for that and we always have hot water.

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.

This unit should work on a gravity system as it shouldn't need a minimum flow like a tankless water heater does.
