Get the manufacturer's instructions somehow, you could permanently damage it if the pressure is wrong!!!!

RO tanks typically use around 20 PSI. A lot depends on whether you are on municipal water or a well and what the nominal water pressure is coming in.
I run a 30-50 pressure switch on my well and 20 in the R/O tank. That gives me a 10-30 pound delta across the membrane.
