Which booster pump do you use?

dd7070 · Mar 6, 2013

Hey guys, let me tell you something.
Recently I got refund for my Aquatec 8800. I sent it back to them 5weeks ago and they said they need to diagnose it and then they will make decision whether they give me refund or not.
Anyway I am really glad because I got refund even they never give me back the shipping fee($14.00).
So I learend that it is hard to get refund from "Bulksupply.com". Maybe I don't like to buy something from them anymore.

So I am looking for booster pump for my 6stage Ro Di system. Anybody got an answer for me?
I don't think Aquatec 8800 is not perfect for my system. I should get a more powerful one.
When I check the water pressure gage; before the Aquatec 8800 just I read 20-37 psi and after install the pump 25-42 psi.
Of course I try to make it adjust to maxium power. There is tricky adjustable balt on top of body of pump(it is really tricky and there is no mention about it on the PDF for installation).

Which booster pump can make my water pressure over 60 to 80 psi?
Please teach me.

Thank you all. :angel:

Cool. Thanks freind.
I am seeing this website. It is pretty cheaper than any others. So I'm thinking buy it. But do you know how much is GPD of it?

They are cheaper for a reason. Stick with a well known brand name from a trusted source. You really do get what you pay for.

Wow 498 from a well? That seems pretty high to me

I have different brands. They all work the same. Can't tell a difference.

Trust me after 38 years in the pump buisiness I can tell you there is a difference. It may not show up today or tomorrow but it will bite you, guaranteed.
You seem to be caught up in the ebay mentality where more stages is better etc. Stages is a sales stunt they use to promote crappy RO systems by saying 5, 6 or 7 stages are better than 3 or 4 which again couldn't be farther from the truth. For an RO 3 stages is all you will need in 99.9% of the situation and for RO/DI its 4 stages. More carbons, more sediments or more little dinky horizontal tubes with some outdated resin bobbing around in them doesn't mean a hill of beans. You need to subscribe to the better stages concept. Fewer, better stages will outperform more lower quality stages every time.
If you want an additional "stage" make it a second full size vertical DI so you get something for your money.

FWIW my tap TDS is over 630, my RO only TDS is between 2 and 3 and my RO/DI is of course a real 0 TDS. I have one sediment filter, one carbon block, an Aquatec 8800 booster pump, one membrane and dual full size DI which lasts well over 1000 gallons per refill.

Thank Jim

I bought this and install this morning and I've watching for around two hours. Finally I can say it working well properly except very loud noisy from gauge. But I don't matter the sound. Anyway its good price and working good.

Thanks again.
