You're looking at the wrong videos for what we do. You're looking at booster pumps used and fitted for whole house application.

Not sure why I think that though. Lol. I'm sure I've heard it spoke of on here. Something about drawing more water than there should be through the pipes.

You'd make it the first thing after your stop cock. Also you'd fit a non return valve to the intake on it.

1 connect your hose pipe to tap
2 connect hose pipe to booster pump. Hozelock fitting or jubilee clip.
3 connect hose pipe comes out from booster to ionic system fitting
Simple easy

wish it was that simple we went round loads of plumbing merchants last time showing them pics etc of pumps andnwhat we needed it for ended up having to fit copper pipe aqnd pull hose over it with jubilee clips holding in place which still caused spray everywhere
