Learn to read, its a stupid question. The product description says................
Please note this pump is not designed to run 24/7 (ie window cleaner R O water production)Which part of it don't you understand?

[rosskesava]

Quote from the specs:

Suitable for up to 150 GPD membranes

and:

Flow rate 0.13 Gallons Per Minute

 



Seems a pretty feeble booster pump and a waste of money.

I had the same problem as your self I bought this pump and am very happy with the results.

Its the pump second from the bottom of the page, just ask for the metal inserts with the John guest fittings so they will not leek and have pipes slipping of all the time.
This pump has a higher flow rate and 100 psi I run it all the time and have no problem. You will need the pump that`s works with a tandem fittings 
not series for your 300 gals ro.

hi colin sorry for got to add the ro's are 300 gpd and the mains pressure is 3/4 bar

 3/4 bar! That is low!!

I think you may need to dig a little deeper in to
You pockets mate. Must be painfully slow making water

I've had something very similar to this  http://www.purefreedom.co.uk/24v-aquatec-reverse-osmosis-booster-pump-power-supply-p-274.html

It's been chugging away on a 300gpd system for the last five years. Had it running for hours on end too although you're not supposed to.

I dont think this will work as the flow rate will be to high its more for a 4040 ro.
The 300 gal has 1/4 tubes I thing the Clark will never keep the tubing on the ro.
