Rodi shutoff question

[Patrick.S]

I’m planning on making a basic brute can rodi storage at the new house. I use a booster pump on my rodi and wondering how to install a shutoff when there is a booster pump in the mix. Will pumping against the shut flow burn out the pump or are they made to handle that sort of thing?

No worries, the pump should shut down with the system.

When using a booster pump there should be a pressure switch involved. If so, that will turn on and off the pump based on the electrical setup (normally closed or open) and the config of the RODI unit
