Im moving house soon so i want to set my system up better.
Is there any shops that sell booster pumps? Nothing big just to speed up flow a little?

Also the best hose insulation to run a hose from a house to garage?

Booster pumps don't speed up flow (from the tap) they just increase the pressure.  Unless you also fit a "break tank".

If you're using an RO system, usually an increased pressure will improve the rate at whih pure wter is produced.

the pressure is good, i just mean to make the pure water come out after the RO faster, at the moment it just trickles out.

i can make 1000 every 2days, so i am hoping a booster pump would mayby double that.

If your pressure is good (better than about 80psi) then its your RO thats the problem.  A lot of people use 300GPD RO units that are simply not very quick at producing pure water.

You would be better to get a 4040 RO unit, with a HF5 membrane (about £350ish including pre-filters).  That will produce water at a rate of about 2 litres per minute, provided you have good pressure.

Adam my one was the same, I got the 450 GPD without the booster pump its sooooo slow. I bought the Aquatech 8800 most suppliers sell them and now my flow is so much faster and your resin will last so much longer and the water flows through alot quicker. 👳👳👳

@ Danny...is the Aquatech 8800 ok for continuous use.

thanks

spot on cheers mate, i know my uncle has a simple set up like mine and he introduced a booster pump and he said it almost doubled what he used to make.

i will deffo order one of these then thanks

No probs Adam I wouldn't be without a booster now 👳👳👳

h2o you must have good tap pressure,    my 300 ro only makes 210 litres in about 10 hours. without a booster pump

Ye so in 48 hours you should have made about the same as me in 48 hours lol
