If you only have a running pressure around 30psi you will need a booster pump for the RO to work well no matter which RO you choose. Otherwise production rate will be slow, waste high and water quality low.

 

The HF5 will work on 30psi, but i was told when i bought my RO Man system i needed at least 45psi. I would still add a booster anyway even if you go for a HF5.

Here is my HF5 set up from Gaps. As you can see its very easy to set up. If you have 30psi as normal working pressure, you would probably be better to go with the HF5, then if your booster pump packs up, you can still produce water.

Justin

If your working pressure is 30psi, she was probably trying to save you some money on a booster pump.
I would go for the HF5, its a bit more money than the HF4, but a better membrane.

I have emailed you that pic. Hope it helps.

Hiya guys
Got me system HF5 today exac the same as your setup nice&clean....LOL
iv now got it up & running this time of night...ha ha...
Quite as out man.....i use to hear the big booster pump running loud as anything,plus hear water going to drain fast a anything.........
Peacefull area now.....LOL
Am i right in beliving this system works by turning waste outlet tap closed a bit @ a time
until u get the psi & tds you want??
I ran water through system from tap & nothing came out of pure water pipe from ro...all was going to waste,until i closed waste water tap a lil bit,then...wham ,it fired up all psi gauges rose to 30psi......i hope im right in this
Anyway ppm is nowdown to 32ppm......LOL....i love it
Have i ran this okay? or have i made a mistake in waste tap???

Thank you guy's & kind regards

Hiya n&c mate....
wots your psi gauge reading on that pic ov your ro man?
my tds dropped to 29ppm now.....
wont sleep tonight now....get up early and tiun it straight on....probaly water flowers with water...LOL

Kindest regards
justin

[niceandclean]

I have a booster pump on the system, but the first gauge is about 60 psi, and the out is 65-70 psi.
What is the tds from your tap? Your tds from the RO should be a lot lower than 29ppm? Mine at the moment is 10ppm.
The waste tap, you need to find the pure/waste ratio, i measure this into a jug, but anything will do, ie a bowl. Should say how to do all this on the instructions that you got from Gap's.
Are you going to use a pump on the system?

[C-N-C]

Hiya nice andclean mate
so you'v got a booster pump eh,mate!
I turned water supply on & not a single bar ov pressure man....it was ALL going to drain & not a single drop from pure water ro outlet
So i read instructions ,again..lol....and it told me to close waste tap slowley at first....That was it man.. ..psi rose a bit.....water running from pure outlet,seemed to be working a bit......
so i closed waster valve a bit more(as instructions said)and psi rose to 30 psi (thats with the waste nealy closed completely)& producing 32ppm @ first,then dropped after a hour or so to 29ppm.....you can imaging,even at that tds...i was happy
So thats how i had to get system running......n&c mate...
Does this sound right to you man??
Basicly i close waste water valve(not completley)& that rises pressure & makes system work.......

Thank you my 40/40 brother....LOL

Take care dude
Kind regards
Justin

[niceandclean]

What is your tap tds? Mine is around 350ish
Have you set up your waste ratio?
If you look at my waste tap, its almost closed, obviously the leaver down is flushing mode.
I think the tds out still seems high for a new RO? What order have you got the pre-filters?
