RODI Solenoid Valve

[4n2xtacy]

Hi guys, hope y'all are staying safe out there... I kinda need a professional input. I got the Flood Guardian by XP for my water station to help as a back up to prevent flood in my water station. Afterwards, I got the RODI Buddie to help boost my RODI unit. Both equipment use a shut off valve. I want both equipment to work as designed, meaning both equipment use their own shut off valves working independently from each other. My question is, is there a downside to installing two shut off valves back to back from each other,without affecting each other's performance, or is there another configuration I should look into, thanks.

I’m not familiar with the rodi buddy installation, does it say if it recommends installing the solenoid before or after the unit?

Its the Smart Buddie RODI booster pump with an internal solenoid. It recommends installing the solenoid line after the pre-filters, before the membrane.

Hello

When running the Smart buddie, be cautious of the small 300 cc flow restrictor. They have a by-pass if you use 90+ GPD membranes.

Skip the smart buddie and go with the Aquatec 8800 /w pressure switch and auto flush module
