What little added output through the membrane is not worth all the trouble really . You may get a extra 2 gallons a day. The warmer water say 70 just expands the pores in the Membrane I say the smaller the pores the better the water ..You would be betteroff on a well pump to just turn the pressure switch down a couple of turns to raise the feed pressure.
