well thanks guys for all your info much appreciated dave if u could perhaps tell me a bit more about that pump like is it noisy how much faster it is and does it bring dawn your tds quit a lot  and could i use micro bore because that's a lot more stiffer then standard hose so would that work thanks i mean if its working for u guys it must be good right.

Had mine eight years, and now shows signs of failure.  I aim to refurbish this one, as new they are pricey.

James,

I use the clarke pump CBM240E with just garden hose that you can buy anywhere B&Q and such, its never collapsed my hose at all lol.

If you dont want to spend as much as £300 you can get the CBM pump without the electronic control but i think its better with it as it will switch the pump off if something happens like.. someone switches the tap off thinking whats that doing on etc stopping the pump from ru nning dry. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cbm240-1in-multi-stage-water-pump  its only about 200 pound without the electronic control.

People have said on here its not noisey ...  i think it is really for what it is mines set up in my garage even with the door shut i can just about hear it outside but it is  in a boxed unit, i will try take some photo's later if i can.

My tds used to be about 30-31 before using the pump, i dont have a lot of water flow from my tap and even still its not running in ideal conditions it brings my tds down from 30 - around 17-20 depending on the time of the year, thats the lowest i could get it to. I dont how much yours will come down as its too hard to tell.

so window cleaning warehouse have said they have a pump for £1100 -- are they joking? thats outrageous!  

[robert mitchell]

The cbm240e is a centrifugal pump and is ideal for job , im sure you can get better ones with a higher psi for more money but probably not worth it .

 My lidl pump is uncannily similar to the cbm240 but no electronics ......three year guarantee too .

[Geoff]

Has anyone carried out repairs on a CBM240E?

I wonder if the electronics box on top could be salvaged and put with a new basic pump?

i no what a joke dave they said that a small pump wont work and said well the best one we got is £1100 pounds as soon as they said that i new straight away they were just trying to get there hands on my money i done a test round my mates house with his diaphragm pump witch they said would not work on 4021 ro so fort i see and have a go and guess what it did work i recon it doubled the amount of water going into my tank so it just shows that the window cleaning wear house don't no much so i no that a small diaphragm pump will work on my system and it will fill my tank up in half the time but i still think i want to get the cbm240e pump as it even more powerful and will most probably bring my tds dawn even more before resin that's good to that i can use normal hose it means now i can go and get one off these pumps knowing i have not got something that's not gonna be right thanks dave for all your time and help much appreciated mate

8 years is pretty good i think i will be happy if mine last that long. when i get it.

[dave0123]

ideally you want to see what the TDS is with a pump although the flow may be high u also want to reduce the tds.

I changed my membrane over the weekend to 4021 from a 4040 with the low pressure membrane, using a pump it worked great i am now getting a tds of 12 however it 4021 does produce water slower than my 4040 but this doesnt matter for me as i have static setup in my garage it can run all day if needs be.

yes i did this with the diaphragm pump and my tds was 14. without the pump it was 17 so not much different but better but with the cbm240e i recon i could get it dawn to 7 or something close as the cbm240e is probably a lot more powerful then the diaphragm pump.

[dave0123]

17 isnt that bad at all anyway if you have low flow from the tap.

what membrane are you using HF5 HF4 or a different one?

James, as far as I'm aware we dont sell pumps for £1100... Are you sure you weren't being quoted for a full 4040 RO pumped system and not just a pump? I will find out tomorrow who you have been speaking to, our guys are trained by the pump manufacturers and have a very good knowledge of what works an what dosent for our industry.

must of been for that price i said to a guy im looking for a booster pump and i asked if a diaphragm pump would work and he said no next thing i no he said but i got this for £1100 pounds i fort to myself no i don't think so mate he said a small diaphragm pump would not work he said it would slow it dawn if anything so i tested a diaphragm pump out at me mates and it doubled the filling time and it brought my tds dawn too so the guy imo didt have a clue.   

[JamesAJF]

[/quot erm not sure dave im now gonna have a fAg so i will have a quick look while im out there and let u no in 5

[dave0123]

you wont be able to tell without taking it out the housing! unless the company have stuck something on the outside

and i no that u guys are very good at what u do just i think that maybe he thought rather than new as now i no as i have tested it and it does work but i still want something quicker so the cbm240e seems like its the one for me do u have this pump in stock  

[dave0123]

No that's the size of the ports on the side. I was just wondering out of interest.

[JamesAJF]

ok well when it comes to me taking it out i will have a look and let u no mate thanks loads for  your help.

im sure you do have a good knowledge on pumps but knowing about the product and actually using it on different systems is a big difference i take it the bloke i spoke to has not used a diaphragm pump on a 4021 system because when i tested it out it doubled the filling time on my system rather then slowing it dawn like he said. when you find out who i spoke to.... let him no it does work very well so at least when someone else asks him he will know for next time
