Just ordered my self a  booster pump for my RO-System.

If anyone has bought a booster pump for there RO- System, was the increased production worth it?? and any idea of the extra %

[top rung]

YES my tap pressure was 40 to 48 psi and i run a merlin giving a tds of around 12 ,but it used to take me nearly 7 hours to fill 500 ltrs into static tank ..Fitted pump from wintecs last friday ,and pressure went to 65 psi tds went straight down to 6,7 .and it took bearly 3 hours to fill 600 ltrs tank .So im well pleased.

Thanks Top Rung, I'm pleased to see its helped you
Now I need to increase my production it looks like the best way too go. Many thanks for your advice.

booster pumps do significantly up the output if your pressure is low

if you aren't running a merlin, perhaps consider an upgrade (100gpd) or whatever. i think paid £30-£40 for mine from ro-man

that and a booster pump meant i now have loads of pure water

I'm Running a 200gpd ro unit at the moment, so in the near future I may think about the upgrade, but I'm pleased to see the decent increase in production.

i use a 200gpd as well but with a booster pump. i'd guess i produce 500 to 600 litres a day
