Title: RO Booster pump.
Post by: petski2 on March 01, 2012, 06:38:23 pm: OK guys which do we all use and which do we rate as the best.
I use a merlin and have a water pressure of about 35 which is not good for speedy production..
Thanks

Pete

Post by: petski2 on March 18, 2012, 02:47:40 pm: Hi H2ose,how did you marry the pump up to the RO.
The pump inlet and outlet are 1 inch whereas the ro connection is half inch.
Cheers

the price on the links is just to show what is used, I cannot remember what I paid for mine, this first is not the same as the one we use, I did not want to scrimp and got the best one that was available at the time, somethings in life you have to pay a little more for yet they save you money, this aspect of my business could cost me a lot if I got it wrong, I thought it was cheap whatever price I paid for it.

Post by: dave carroll on March 18, 2012, 03:43:14 pm: got one of peter fogwills 200 gpd ROs, had it when the mains pressure was 70psi, then water board have reduced the pressure to 35psi (to reduce leaks i suppose) replaced the membrains with 300 gpd (and restrictor)from osmotics. at same time got a booster pump from pure freedom (less than £100).this put the pressure back up tp 80psi. down side is it rattled like a rattly thing so took the gauge off. got 5l of resin from daqua and just put last lot in canister, use 2000-3000ltr a week so i'm quite happy with setup.
