Increase the effectiveness of your RO system, and Reduce waste water by up to 65%!
Reverse osmosis booster pumps can easily increase the pressure going into your RO or RO/DI system if your starting pressure is low. Reverse osmosis is a pressure-driven process. Small residential RO units will theoretically operate below 50psi, but the reality is you won't get a lot of water and the product water quality may be compromised if the unit runs below 45 psi. RO units typically run well on municipal water pressure of 60 psi, but they run even better with a small pump to boost the pressure to 80 psi or slightly higher. This will increase efficiency as well as the rate of production, and can also potentially decrease consumption of DI resin. Get maximum output and the best quality filtered water from your RO system!

Product Questions
I hooked it all up prior to seeing this isn't supposed to be used with the water saver kit. It seems to function just as it's supposed to, produces water fast at 0 tds (I've made almost 210 gallons in a day), and have a ratio of about 1.75:1 for product:waste.
My question is, why is this not a recommended pump for the application with the water saver? What is the technical reasoning behind it?
Thank you!
My RO/ DI is 200 GPD and got a 100 GPD rated this unit (smart buddie rated for up to 100 gpd) ... wondering what can I do to use the smart buddie ..

Is it worth me installing one of these? My friend gave me one to use, I just don't know if it will save me that much.
Thank you,
Brian
It will 100% be worth it to use, the pressure should be 55-60 for optimal performance. You will get a much better rejection to product ratio of you improve that pressure.
Take care
