RO Booster pump
« on: November 26, 2008, 09:26:01 pm »
Who uses one?

And....Ive been looking to get one but it seems theres a clause suggesting they cant be run continually (one webpage even went as far as to say not suitable for window cleaners).

http://www.purewaterproducts.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4

So how do you use yours and how does it perform?

Did you just charge it (the battery) up every couple of days or can you wire the shurflos up to be plugged into the mains with an adaptor?

If you have it in your garage or similar you have to wire it up to a battery or mains,it`s the same as you`d use on your system.The water needs to come from mains suppy then pump then RO,i had a 40x40.

Might just wire it up to a battery and get that charged up every day or so.

Cheers.

You can do,a 40x40 can cope with 100psi water input though what RO do you have.

i use a single 150 gpd unit with a booster pump in time span at 80psi its produces 50litre to 75 litre an hour during daylight hours but late at night it produces better as pressure is increased

 ive got a ro-man booster pump with my 300gpd ro. But i can't see it on the ro-man website.
I got mine from gardiners when they sold RO's and boosters etc. So alex should know.
That pump on the link looks similar to the one i have.
I personally wouldn't worry about they last for years.
