R.O. units produce purified water when mains pressure is between 35 and 70 psi, if mains water pressure is below 35 psi there will not be adequate pressure on the membrane for the efficient production of Reverse Osmosis water.
If your mains water pressure is low an R.O. booster pump will increase water pressure allowing the R.O. unit to deliver its stated gallon per hour rating (dependant on water temperature).
As R.O. membranes become more efficient at their maximum working pressures the use of a booster pump can result in a marked reduction of TDS (Total dissolved solids) of the R.O. water.
As the efficiency of the membrane increases less waste water will go to drain. A membrane reaches its maximum efficiency at around 70 psi. If your mains pressure is between 35 and 60 psi a booster pump will insure your membrane will be running at peak efficiency
The R.O. booster pump is not intended for continuous use it is recommended that the pump is allowed to cool for ate 15 minutes every 4 hours of use. This can easily achieved by connecting the power supply to a plug in timer.
