Hi Guys

Looking for some advice, have a 350 litre tank that use to take 2 hours to fill from garden tap, just moved house to a low pressure area, now takes 8 hours to fill!!
What inexpensive booster pump would you recommend to feed off the garden tap to help me sort this massive headache?

These are made in Poland and an exact copy of the DAB pump I use ( at 1/3 of the price ) this will dramatically increase your mains flow to your tank

At 60 LPM  you'll be full in under 10 minutes

How does the connections work? Is it dry use? Hozelock connection from tap into the pump then out into van?

[Smudger]

1 inch BSP threads,  get threaded hosetail 1/2" or 13mm  and run garden hose with hozelock fitting

Or 1" to 3/4" double male threaded Union and fit hozelock connectors direct to the pump

Cool- but 10mins?? How, water has to pass through RO and Resin first? 

[Smudger]

Sorry - you only mentioned you had low pressure, nothing about going though an RO 

However, depending on what you have a boosted 4040/4020 system should deliver nearly 200 LPH of pure the Merlin RO over 100 LPH and DIY systems anything from 50 to 100 LPH

HTH

60 lpm I will fit one if these in my bathroom for the shower

That would be heaven

This pump you have recommended Smudger, can you adjust the pressure on it to control the psi?

[Smudger]

No.

It's not something I've needed to do, can't comment on small ro systems but Merlin and 4040's will easily take all the pressure you can throw at them

Turn your tap on.
