RO booster selection

t5Nitro · Nov 13, 2020

Hey guys, does it matter much which booster pump would be the best option? There's aquatec and the RO buddy. Im sure there are many others. Any in particular prove to be better than another or certain features worth having?

Going to watch for one during holiday season sales.

There is a form factor difference and I believe the ro buddy has an auto flushing feature. This would mean it has to act as a restrictor or bypass somehow rather than just a pump.

I have the smart buddie and love it. It does have it's own restrictor and auto flush built into it which is really nice. So when you set it up you have to disconnect the restrictor and auto flush that's on your rodi (if it has them). This is the one I have. Been using for probably 6 months.
