Thanks Shrek. Oh well, seems to be working out for me the way I've set it up so can't be bothered to go changing things.

Im not sure which way is correct either tbh? Maybe B.K's way is better? because i know at 80psi i have to seriously tighten those 20" pre filters whilst someone is holding the base for me, and me using a filter wrench,  i dread changing them as they can leak easy  under high pressure.

Pure Freedom mount the booster pump after the prefilters on their systems.

You've all got me thinking now, i wonder if i would get a higher psi on the R.O, with the booster between the system? I might have give it a try?

ive got the pure freedom 4040, not long after being its found out just how crap my water pressure is, its about 8psi, i then bought a booster pump and fitted it between the pre filters and the membrane, i suffered with air locks a lot and also my booster would only go to 30psi max, ive now changed it round so the booster is first and the pressure is a million times better. I just need to re-secure all my fittings as ive got some leaks and then i think I can get my pressure up to 60 ish psi which is a massive improvement .

so in answer to where the booster goes, I think a lot has to do with your initial water pressure

I need to increase my water production so is it worth fitting a booster pump I’ve got a pure freedom  2400gpd ro , if you’ve fitted one how much did your water production increase ? Currently taking about 18/20 hours to fill 1000 l Ibc regards Alan

This is the one I have. Its attached to a 4040.  Fills a static 500 ltre.   Tank 40 min
Can you send me a pic of the top of the pump head? Wana know the specs and model number

Thanks
