IS THIS BOOSTER PUMP OK?

I have very low pressue and need a booster pump.  The RO man pump requires a min pressue which I don't have.  I've been told this pump is a negative feed and will work no matter wht the pressue.  Has anyone got it and can they confirm it will be OK for what I need??

Thanks

andrew

RO man told me it was about 2 bar I think that's about 24 PSI.  My pressue is lower than that so I've been told that the Clarkes pump works on negative pressue so should be OK

I use that pump and it's made a big difference keeping my TDS very low out of the RO for a very long.

It's very good but have said it won't be suitabel for me as ny pressue is too low for it.

That's why I need to know fo the clarkes one reaaly will be OK even with very low operating pressue.

Can you confirm that it is different to the RO man pump and this one (Clarks) does not require any head of pressue to work???

I don't want to buy it and find out that it doesn't work !! ::)

I've never used an RO man pump so I can't compare.
Even if your water pressure is low you can still use the clark pump.
I have a IBC rainwater collection tank which is connected up to my clarke pump which I use to push the water through my RO, plenty of pressure. Don't ask me how much as I don't have a pressure gauge fitted but it's definitely high.

I meant inlet pressue going into first filter.

The RO pump has been given great reviews but RO man said it needed a higher than 8 PSI to work.  I'll go for this one and hope all is well.

Thanks
