Probably so. There are booster pumps you can buy to increase pressure, which will increase water production.

If I recall it took around 3-4 gallons, before it started making water at a good pace.

According to the manual "pressure below 40 psi, or a pressure drop of 15-20% of normal water pressure indicates the prefilters are in need of replacement ". Of course this all depends on the pressure of your city water. If you remove the two pre filters then the Guatemala will read your water...

Also, the optimum pressure is around 60 psi, lower pressure could either indicate that your source has low pressure, or the pre filters are clogged.

Is it new? It took a few gallons for mine to break in.

I have a spectrapure and it is excellent. I mainly spent the extra money for the spectrapure due to the unusually high test content where I live.
