Hey all, I had a quick question regarding booster pumps for RODI units. I’m currently achieving 40 psi. Should I get a booster pump? And if so, which brand?

I had about 50 psi and putting a booster pump on my rodi massively improved not only my water production rate but also lowered the tds going into my di resin considerably.

I would highly recommed adding one. I personally bought the Aquatec kit from brs.

Oh I also added a Pre Filter before the booster to stop any potential debris from getting into it.

That same booster kit that BRS has is significantly cheaper on Amazon.

I personally would spend the extra money to not shop at Amazon and give to a company that is involved in the hobby.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
