booster pump...again
« on: October 02, 2012, 08:40:06 pm »
Guys..I know this has been discussed before many times, but new products are always coming forward. I have 35psi max from my garden tap and want to use my merlin at home. What's a good simple and cheapish booster pump I could use. Any useful suggestions welcome. Thanks, dave

Thanks for that mate! I got one the next day but it didn't have any connectors. It's taken me about a week to get round to putting it together but it works great and has almost doubled my mains pressure. Thanks again for bothering to reply.

If that one lets u down I got an aquatec booster last week for my 300 and almost tripled the output, well impressed I was on 45psi.

We appreciate you giving us some positive feedback. Well done for taking the time to update us.

My 4040 is producing water fast enough at 40 psi and with good tds (115 in 1 out). I am not going to bother about a booster pump now, although it was a consideration when I purchased the r/o. We don't have the best pressure or water volume as we are on the end of the water line in a cul de sac. The r/o is also at the end of the pumping in the house - kitchen then bathroom/toilet (downstairs) and the pipe taken from toilet feed pipe under the floor into the garage. What I wondered about is if a booster pump would 'starve' the downstairs appliances of water when it was on.
