Booster pump
« on: January 10, 2009, 10:29:53 am »
Does anyone know if this pump can be used continually or does it need to be turned off to allow it to cool down?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt.

It isn't for continual use so you have to switch it off like you say to cool down.

I believe there are supply probs with these pumps as well.

Hope this helps you  :)

Damn, its a bugger at the mo, no-one has the continuous pumps in.

Whats the solution/ Any ideas?

How long would one of these work before needing to be turned off?

Also what sort of on/off regime would need to be used, how long would it need to be off for?

You dont stock them Andrew do you?

no,
i have a float valve in the static tank at home, when i draw the water off it clicks on to make new and it stays on untill its replaced, normally about 12hrs this time of year. never had a problem.
i brought it from ro-man who advised me to use it.
better go out and make sure its the same though.

Do you guys have yours plumbed in after the pre-filters and before the membranes?

There is no need for high pressure through the prefilters, so ideally the pump should be between them and the RO.  Pressurising the prefilters would increase the chance of leaks at the unions and the screw join between the prefilter case and top.
