BOOSTER PUMPS - I`M CONFUSED!"£$
« on: March 04, 2009, 06:43:06 pm »
Mains pressure here has dropped off - So its time to buy a booster pump.
Some people are telling me to buy the ro man pump which pushes the pressure through all filters inc pre filters,  and some people are telling me that I should only boost the pressure before the membraines ie use one of them 24 volt pump/transformer kits I run a 450gpd ro and not sure what pump to buy - your comments appreciated!

Plumb it in between the pre-filters and membranes.

Yes, it comes with the transformer.

I have one, its good bit of kit, doubled my output.

You can also alter the output, by adjusting pressure, nifty  ;)

Matt - Fitted aquatec 8800 yesterday, Its now giving me 60 litres an hour 15 tds instead of 20 litres an hour 39 tds - how much more production do you think I will get if I turn the pump up? and what size allen key is it - I dont think its a metric key as I have tried 2 sets! ;D

Who knows, you need a pressure guage, dont want to blow any seals.
