As I’m getting ready for my new build, in our new home, I needed to do something to increase water pressure and output.

I had 80 psi or more at my prior home. Now I have 55 psi at best.

I purchased the booster buddie and water saver upgrade kit from MD.

Received in 2 days as I am really close to their Atlanta warehouse.

Also received 25 lbs of Aquamaxx Tonga plate and 10 lbs of rubble rock. I wanted to get it cooking so I hooked it all up and got it going.

First I will say that it is really easy to hook up both the booster and the additional filter. Directions are done well.

Here is a pick of the temporary setup.

I am getting the advertised 80 psi from the booster buddie

I’m also getting awesome output from the water saver upgrade.

I measured into a graduated bucket the good water and waste water and did the calculations.

I am getting 9 gph if clean water at .0 TDS, to 6 gph of waste water.

Granted I invested about 200 bucks, but I believe it was well worth it.
