You really need to get hold of a water pressure guage, check out your local plumbing supplies, or think laterally and buy some cheap gadget from the likes of B&Q that happens to have a pressure guage on it!
If you are the clever type then you may be able to work it out by measuring the volume of water produced in a given time through a half inch hose ??? ;D
Seriously though, you can get a fair idea whether or not you have a decent pressure by simply using your hosepipe in the garden, if it fairly blasts out of the attachments you know you will have reasonable pressure.
But even if your pressure is low, you can get booster pumps for R/O systems that will give you the pressure you need.
Most of the systems on sale come with a water pressure guage as part of the package, but check first!
Best of luck!

Where do you get booster pumps from?

Hi Leyla,
Sorry about the delay in answering, just back from a well deserved break. Staying opposite two German ladies who'd booked their Xmas/New Year hols in Indonesia, but had second thoughts and decided to change to Fuerteventura. Unfortunately, they could watch what was happening in Indonesia on CNN. These girls had tingles up their backs for days - not pleasant.
Apart from all that - Use the search button on the Cleanitup toolbar and you'll get three pages of results for "booster pump". They might not all be what you're looking for, but it should point you in the right direction.
