Title: Mains Pressure??
Post by: Dean Lewis on January 30, 2014, 10:10:23 pm

Help!!!
I have just purchased V4P Ionic System !  Got up in morning to fill Van and noticed that Pressure was only 30PSI from main supply!! . when  first tested my Home Water Mains it showed a reading of 65PSI + ? now few weeks later, and spending what feels my life savings on a unit apparently my water level has dropped by half !!!  Although I have not noticed a dramatic change especilaly 50%  and without the correct pressure it will damage the RO Unit .  Option  Is a Quick Fill Booster Pump fitted into Van at a additional cost of over £1000.

Can anyone help advise what would be my best and affordable alternative, other than travelling back to Swindon and having something fitted which i feel should of been pointed out in first place??.

Obvious solution i believe would be a Stand a lone Booster Pump?  can someone point me in the right direction.

Where are you getting the pressure readings from? After the pre-filters? If so, these could be blocked causing the pressure drop.

The reading is straight from mains before the filter process!  Been advised that pressure going through the Filters should be around 60PSI?


Thanks.

did you check that water wasn't running inside of house at the time of checking pressure.  washing machine, shower, dish washer,  that takes the pressure down,,,

Pretty confident no other usage was being called for. I am now going to check it again, 1pm in the afternoon everyone should be at work so I should have what pressure there is pretty much too myself!!!

Cheers..
