Anyway wen i got it was a bit confused as i had a sort of T peice connector for 2 water pipes to go 2 and stuff but figired it out now.

Only thing am unsure of the holes on the screw in connections to the pump seem 2be 6mm RO tubing fitting does that mean i use the RO tubing from the tap? to booster pump then to RO?

Hi Dave,

I got one of these a few days ago...absoultley brilliant...only problem my old pump would take around 12 hours to fill 500l so I would turn on when I got home from work and turn off next morning...the new pump is nearly twice as fast filling up so have to be careful when filling up over night!!!

Anyway, back to your question mains water goes through filter system first then into pump then out of pump and through RO mebranes then into holding tank. Hope that makes some sense.

Thanks for the info!

filters? i just have a purefreedom RO was going to but booster pump before that so it would be  water from tap - booster pump - ro - di - tank ( i am using a trolley) is that correct?

What RO do you have btw.

Dave

so tap into ro unit, after prefilters before membranes... connected inbetween with the ro plastic 1/4'' hose...

[dave0123]

Right think i got it now..


pre filters are the vertical filters going down and the membranes are the top ones going across???

So inbetween the two ?

[Jon-scwindows]

i think so? what ro do you have ? a 300gpd?

i would imagine thats how it connects up as it would be strange to have it before the unit, as you would then need to go from tap to 1/4inch to tap hose to unit ...

it would make sense to go after the prefilters, before the membranes, im not completely sure though

[dave0123]

yer its a purefreedom 300gpd RO

its the above one ^^

[Jon-scwindows]

yep thats same as the one i just sold, i would put it after the three vertical filter canisters as they are all connected together, just connect up the hose before it goes into the other horizontal filters/membranes whatever they are - either way it can still pump and suck, and should work well there...

i dont think that pump is designed for 24 7 useage, so let us know how quick it will fill a 1000ltr ibc..
thanks

[dave0123]

il try it like that if no luck il change it looks pritty easy to do there only screwed in connectors after the pre filters etc.

Im not planning on running it 24/7 thats something i didnt want to do haha! il let you know how how quick it is at filling the tank.

paveclean above ^ seems inpressive!!


Thanks alot anyway

[Jon-scwindows]

what does the pump have to connect to the tubing? if its the john guest fittings that just push in place then try and cut the tubing long, or replace with longer tubing so you have enough length to mount the pump near it, or fit a john guest inline fitting to extend the screw on fitting thats on the last prefilter.

[dave0123]

yer its the same as the RO tubing with those connectors that screw and tighten onto the tube? if u understand that.

i have some spare and a connection that will allow me to connect to pipes 2gether


Cheers for that mate

[dave0123]

Wooo!!

Finally got it up and running now produces 1 litre in 1min 50seconds alot better!! before it was 1 litre of water in 5 mins!

I belive with this pump i can increase the psi? if i wanted to turn it up is it located by taking the 4 little screws off? the little bit of plastic?

Hi Dave,

It is an excellent pump, I am most impressed with it, much better than I expected. If I had known how much difference it made from my old pump I would have bought one ages ago.

Mine runs with a psi of around 75....I turned it on this moring at 8.30am and at 4pm today it had produced 400l of water which works out to just over 1 litre per min..not bad!!

What is also good is it works just aswell in cold weather down to 3oc unlike my old pump.

Steve G

[dave0123]

cool! sounds good.


How do you change the psi of the pump? remove those 4 little screws? and turn it up slightly?

7.5 hours for 400L  with a booster pump, can I ask what the RO is ?

[dave0123]

i dont no what RO hes got either sounds good tho!!


what have u got pave clean

[dave0123]

Thats pritty good going for the price too!

What ro did you have then mate a 300 GPD RO? or bigger

[dave0123]

iv had mine on since about 4.15 and its made about 200 lit at 9ish so far i think


on those pumps it says  u can increase the psi from 50-80 i was thinking maybe turn it up slightly 2morra, to do that do you take off the little cap held on with 4small screws?. because under that it has a + and -  sign?? hope you understand what i mean.

Dave

[dave0123]

Dont really need it all... but dont really want to run it all the time if you no what i mean!!

yer i think its made 200lit but carnt see the marking cus its dark lmao

[dave0123]

Spose its best! il see how i get along with it as it is!!


Thanks mate
