I fitted the RO-Man pump box , boosted my psi from 40 to 115 ,it didn't fill that much quicker surprisingly did improve the efficiency though

Iwant to install a larger tank in the van/garage but at the moment the garage tank fills up 250 litres in a 24hour period and its just not enough, i find i've run out by 3pm and have to wait till the next day for more. Where did you buy your pump from?

I bought it from ro-man but that one is no longer listed on their site but gardiners do list one

 hi  if you upgrade to 40/40 ro you should beable to produce 2000lts in 24 hrs though you would have to re salt after 12 hrs unless you have an auto water softner or live in soft water area  if you look around you can get them for a lot less than ionics sell them for I have seen them for about £357.00 including housing  I can dig out website for ro if you want or knowing what others sell them for  sould I start to sell them   

Booster pumps can work but it is sometimes better to have a buffer tank between the water mains and the main tank with the booster drawing off the buffer tank
if you are using the smaller ros it may be better to upgrade the ro hope this helps regard    Grant
