i should have guessed you would be at home ;D, its far too nice to clean windows
well i spoke to a lad to day who has done that and he says it works quicker but i was told by pure freedom to site it after the pre filters and before the resin vessel
do you think it produces water quicker?

why you pumping into resin bottle for? surely that defeats the object of getting a RO booster pump or am i missing something?

the resin vessel is after the ro machine and is separate from the membranes/filters and i have positioned the pump in between the two BUT  i have actually plumbed it in between the pre filters and the membranes as instructed by purefreedom.... panic over

I thought the point of booster was to increase pressure theough the R.O?
I was always told prefilters-booster-mebranes
(I think to stop the booster taking some of the dirt from the water)

if you put it b4 di vessel , it would go through di vessel far too quickly not allowing the water to syphon properly through the resin to get totally purified to 000 reading.     too fast going into the di vessel    will be no use to your resin.
