RO/DI booster pump questions

[Jon]

I’m looking to buy myself a booster pump for my ro/di unit. My water pressure is low and it takes me about three hours to make 5 gallons of clean water. So here is my question: should I buy the aquatec 6800 with or without a pressure switch. Its only a $20 difference but I’m not sure if I need it. When I make my water I usually set a timer and keep an eye on it as it is being produced.

Thanks

If your gonna get the booster pump, go all out and get evefy part you need to fully automate the system. Its just easier to get it all up front and not piecemeal it over time

My RODI isn’t part of a system, it stands alone.
I picked up this...

Literally quadrupled (at least) my output and was a simple in line installation.
One of the better buys I’ve made in the hobby.

As per pressure switch - ALWAYS
A nap, a distraction, an emergency and gallons will be on your floor.
A simple pressure switch Is one of the BEST buys I made in the hobby.

You both linked the same system, so now I know I have to get one, lol.

Jgraz - what do you mean by fully automating the system? Are you talking about just this, or other components as well? If other components, what are those? Interested to see what other people are doing. Thanks.

Basically what I posted. Turn it on get yourself a container with float valve and a drain valve and let it go. This system will turn on/off as needed.

So I’m thinking about getting the one that Marc and Jgraz recommended. I’m just not sure if will work with my space and area. Attached is a picture of my water making station. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks

You could put a shelf up the pump is small. I use one also and they work very well.

+1000 on the aquatic life booster pump. That and a float switch, no worries. Does an auto back flush too.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for commenting on my post. I went ahead and bought the aquatic life booster pump. I went from making five gallons of water in about three hours to five gallons in 1.5 hours. My pressure gauge reads between 80-90 psi when in use. This thing is nice and very quiet.
