Don't know how true this is but.. When I last phoned pure freedom, we got chatting about booster pumps and the guy I spoke to said most pumps with a tank tend to rust inside?
Spend a bit more mate and get one that will last  :)

Hi Terry
Where did you buy those rubber pipes ?

They are hydraulic hoses, I got them from http://www.bmiuk.co.uk/ or you could try http://www.pirtek.co.uk/
Previously I used reinforced clear pvc hose and the water pressure from the booster pump blew a hole through it!  : ;D

i use a 300 RO  do most water production in kitchen, at the moment im using a diaphram pump 1.2 lpm  125psi,   it takes around 1 hour to fill a 25 litre drum,   i need a pump tp make more quicker,  im hoping to store it,  can these pumps run from the kitchen tap straight to pump, im not using much at this moment but will be using more soon when i know i can get a good supply. have any of you a link for the connections to fit into the RO so i can add a hosepipe onto it  instead of 1/4  RO tubong   prefferably a straight one.  ive tried looking for the connections to to washing machine cold water hose,   if you know what i mean,  looked on those 2 sites  cant see hoses Terry, how much was that pump,   mines cracking me up.

I can't answer your question, but all the literature thats come with any pump i've had specifies 1 inch pipe so i've always done that even if just for a short length.

Window washers - Does yours cut in and out or maintain a steady pressure? Mine cuts in at 3 bar & cuts out at 6 bar, I would prefer if it just ran about 5 bar constantly.

runs contiually, will only stop if I shut the water off, it detects it and shuts the pump off

cleanclear,     im after a good pump for my 300 ro,   as and when required,  do you recon this would be fine for me.  how quick do you think this would fill a 25 litre drum   from ro.    need a good pump to fill bigger containers.  do you just use hosepipe hose as conections.   i am chatting about the one you say you use.

window washers     the one you use is maybe too big for my needs,    i dont use that much water  a week .  ill check machine mart weekend ask there advice. in store.    self priming   what does this do.  what pump would i need for a small setup.   200 litres a week only for now,   but with right gear i could do more wfp work.

I think the one i use might me a bit overkill for your needs. I'm pretty sure Vyair and John Hewitt do the booster pumps for the 300 gpd RO's.

No - you need a reducer to fit standard hose - Lee gls posted a link on here recently  - I bought mine from local hydraulics unit  - only about an extra £5  :)
