I was thinkin of ordering one of these this week, what's your mains pressure before you fitted it? An what difference has it made after you fitted it?

I'm allowed to answer the 2nd question!  yes it would make a difference both to your production time and your TDS level after the RO.

booster pump goes before the ro but after the pre filters, i bought mine from purefreedom and it has nearly tripled production, waste water ratio has been reduced and now the tds is lower coming out the ro,

well worth the money

I bought one the other day from craig, I have a 300 GPD ro from pure freedom. I have no idea what my water pressure was/is. It was taking 5.4 mins to produce 1 litre of pure water. It now takes 2 min 1 second to produce 1 litre of water, Only fitted it yesterday, very happy so far (although if I am honest I would of liked it to be faster  :P )

I saw the piece of paper folded over in top of the box warning me not to do so. cheers craig. The only fault I found (nit picking really) Is that it came without any instructions, Its only because I read on here the other day that i knew where to put it!
