I recently purchased a puratek rodi system with booster pump. It is said to do 100G per day, I would say its a stretch thats its even doing a quarter of that.
The booster pump only runs for 10-15 seconds at a time and my psi doesn't go much beyond 50. I've also noticed that my chamber number 3 is not filled up all the way. What could be going on?
BtW, the customer service at Vertex sucks, if you ever start a company, please do not make the only way of contacting you a form you fill out online, its soooooooooooo lazy, post a frickin number
Rant done

What is your PSI before the booster pump? If it's anything above 30psi, I would run it without the pump and see what happens. Sounds like the pump isn't putting out enough flow.

sounds like the pump is not strong enough or like something is blocked some were. look at the 3 chamber since you noticed it is not full. from my experience you should be at around 60 psi or higher with a pump
