Just installed this booster pump. my line comming in was already good at 60 psi after I installed this it increased to 80-85psi and I'm getting 1:1 ratio with faster water production time but you do use more ro tubing which looks kinda messy




I think it's worth the investment

I have the same pump and love it. I like how it autoflushes the membrane each time you turn it on.

Thanks it's suppose to be super efficient and water saving, but takes up the whole back wall behind the fridge

I just installed one too, but wonder if you use flow restrictor and auto shut off from ro unit or remove them?

Mine go to 65 psi, but when the psi goes down to 25, It turns on booster pump even i closed the output valve.

The original aso and flow restrictor was removed since it has a built in flow restrictor and aso make sure you have a check valve after the RO stage

I've had one for awhile but haven't set it up. I think I'm going to need to get this done
