its an equatic pump, for low value gpd usually around 50, youve got a 450gpd

what is the flow rate of this pump, I tried a pump simalar on my 4040 and it slowed down production time.

Also what price did you pay for it ?

it's says it's shouldn't exceed 125 psi(8.5)bar ,are designed for countinous duty and i think they are set to work at 70 psi.paid 99 pounds for it including delivey and vat

If booster pump is only 70psi then it's fine before pre filters, some mains pressure is way above that, sure I've read it on RO man that the RO set up is fine to 100psi.
