Shurflo (Booster) Pump
« on: April 15, 2008, 10:19:20 pm »
Just got my Shurflo (Booster) Pump today and conected it to my system.... What a difference it makes  ;D


Pumping through the RO at 4.75bar 70PSI and getting 7 on the TDS reading...

Hopefuly now I have got some good pressure I can fill the tank up quicker and it will make to RO run better aswell...

I notice that their is NOT alot of water waste either.

Does anyone else use a Booster pump? and at what PSI are you going through and what is the TDS

Yes....


I have just looked at it as it is filling up and I have now move the pump from between the softner and the RO and connected it from the inlet and the pre fillters as I don't feel the water was geting through quick enough.

I have a 300GPD RO and i did have mine conected after the prefilters but was told by RO-MAN were i got the booster pump from its better before the Prefilters so first in line basicly.


but my pressure is 82PSI with pump tds is around 24 tho :'(  but that could be to do with the hise tap TDS around 380 sometimes 408
