The Rootek kits on ebay are better than OEM. The springs are stainless and last for ages! Haven't bought a new univalve in a long time as I just service them with the ebay kits. 👍

We don’t use univalves but I know the guy that owns Rootek he has several products that are very good we tested a few things for him and all work well , he is a window cleaner and designs things to solve problems he has encountered, his customer service is also very good , all his products are well worth looking at .

I tried fixing some they worked for a bit longer but then gave up again.

Ive stopped using univalves as they dont last long before they start sticking, get to the point when they are just coming on and off when walking. Yes they are good when new but i cant be bothered keep buying them so gone back to a small tap on the brush head. Uses slightly more water perhaps but just as easy to use.

Hi,
I've got 3 univalves which are sticking. I've tried lubing one up erm... Anyway it's still sticking so must be springs, do the replacement kits on ebay actually work?
I've a brand new one fitted but just for recycling the old ones instead of buying another new one.

Yesterday.....a fiver off an elderly customer. She said 'this is for the children'....i don't have any kids of my own so just accepted gracefully.😆

£564 in tips altogether now.

You accepted a £5 Xmas tip this time of year off an old person who clearly doesn't think clearly? My conscience wouldn't allow me to accept it.

Yep she's losing her mind a bit....my conscience is just fine thanks!

My clarke pump finally died after 15 years. It was the CBM 240e. They are £400 and I only have another 2 years left WFP so didnt want to spend £400 for 2 years use

Looking for a similar but cheaper pump and saw this one

https://www.anglianpumping.com/product/water-boosting-pumps/spe800-230v-7237000/

Although no auto shut off, has anyone else used this or does it look OK for booster pump pre 4040?

Hi.
Sorry to step on your tread.
I think that pump isn't powerful enough.
You can add a controller though , you can find it on the same website.

I'm in the middle of building my own 4040ro system and cane across this booster pump.

https://ro-man.com/product/multi-stage-large-reverse-osmosis-pump/

I'm interested in the option with solenoid and float valve as I'd like the pump to stop when the tank in full.

Does anyone have any experience with this pump?

Thanks

Hi.
Om going to jump on your tread if that's okay.
I think that pump is not powerfull enough.
But you can add a controller to shut off when the water stops. You can find it on the website.

I'm bulding my own 4040 ro system at the moment and I'm at the stage where Im looking for a booster pump and came across this one :

https://ro-man.com/product/multi-stage-large-reverse-osmosis-pump/

The option I'm looking ay is the one with solenoid and float valve as I what to shut off when the tank .
Does anyone any experience with these pumps?
I know Ro Man are quite reputable but wanted to see if anyone has this pump.
