Just got my Shurflo (Booster) Pump today and conected it to my system.... What a difference it makes ;D
Pumping through the RO at 4.75bar 70PSI and getting 7 on the TDS reading...
Hopefuly now I have got some good pressure I can fill the tank up quicker and it will make to RO run better aswell...
I notice that their is NOT alot of water waste either.
Does anyone else use a Booster pump? and at what PSI are you going through and what is the TDS
-
what ro have you got?
-
Streamline...
-
streamline??
is it a 4040?
-
To be honest with you I don't know, But it is a Varitech system...
-
ok has it got a tube about 40 inches long and about 4 inches in diameter?
probably metal.
-
Yes....
I have just looked at it as it is filling up and I have now move the pump from between the softner and the RO and connected it from the inlet and the pre fillters as I don't feel the water was geting through quick enough.
-
How many litres are you getting over an hour?
were did you buy the Shurflo (Booster) Pump havent seen one of those before.
-
how much was the shurflo? I use a grundfos pump for my ro but curious about this shurflo.
-
so far with the new water meter on, It is saying 700 lts and that is in 1hr 50 mins.....
I paid £187 for it.
I bought it from williamson pumps
-
so you have made 700 lit in 1 hour 50 mins?
-
No thats what has gone through the water meter, Don't forget you have to account for waste water....
-
it is now on 52PSI and the TDS is 15....
Still LEARNING....
-
oh right.
well i was asking how much pure you have made in the 1 hour 50 mins.
am looking at buying a 4040 inch RO myself so just intrested in what sort of production your getting from it.
is this the pump you have

-
NO....
Shurflo SUK 0151 - 135PSI
-
so the pressure has gone down and the tds has gone up?
why?
My pump runs at 90psi all the time, tds remains the same all the time.
-
I don't know why, Can you tell me....?
Where do you connect you pump from/to ?
-
ok as follows
sediment filter
carbon filter
pump
ro membranes
di 1
di 2
-
I have a 300GPD RO and i did have mine conected after the prefilters but was told by RO-MAN were i got the booster pump from its better before the Prefilters so first in line basicly.
but my pressure is 82PSI with pump tds is around 24 tho :'( but that could be to do with the hise tap TDS around 380 sometimes 408
-
So Alan, Are you saying you connect yours after the Pre filters and softner ?
-
oh right.

-

-
Thanks Chris..

-
I had to go for a quick refill I'm in a maisonette and block my neighbour in when producing "good job we get on well" the booster pump wasn't cheap though at around £200.
-
Where do you have your booster pump? is it loud?
i dont have the space so at the moment my stuff is in a box outside insulated then if it drops 0 i have a little heater keeps temp around 12c works treat but the pump i have now small RO pump is abit noisey to run all night so i was hoping the 4040 would near enuf full in the day, Just i belive the big booster pumps are very loud i dont no how loud but nabours proberly wouldnt be to pleased ;D
-
You can get a 160psi Shurflo pump which is also very good for boosting 4040 systems.
-
I have now set it up pre filters and running it at 70PSI with 7 on the TDS.....
Still learning....

Alex,
Are the pumps loud?

You mean after the pre filters?
-
No, Before....
I am noticing that the TDS level is dropping as it fills up, Is this to do with the salt as the water is going through at a higher Pressure the salt levels are dropping quicker...?
TDS is now 15

They are as loud as the standard delivery pumps. So they do make a noise, but not deafening.
-
Dave my pump is loud probably about the same as a hoover so I don't use it at night I refill when I get home and then relax with a few tins when the tanks full ;D
-
i run it 60psi 4 my ro my tds 00 or 01
-
Have been going now for about a week and now running at 60 psi starting of at 7 TDS and when the tank is nearly full the water going in near the end is 15TDS.....
One thing I did forget to do was when I striped the system down from the van I stupidly forgot to backwash the RO unit which I did everyday in the van....
