Rodi booster pump

[BubblesandSqueak]

Does a rodi booster pump provide better filtration or just quantity? Trying to warrant the $$ to increase pressure. Wondering if rings slip past if you don’t have enough pressure? I show zero TDS and think it was around 45PSI without the booster.

Both. Membranes work best at high pressure. With our canisters we are limited to under 100 psi in most cases.

Both

So that’s yes, the high pressure filters out more than just produce more volume Even though the tds meters show zero.

You'd want the pressure going into the RO membranes around 70-80 for best production.

Keep in mind that if you're coming in at 45 PSI, pressure going through membrane is likely lower because of your prefilters.

KStatefan is correct. The increase in production is drastic, the increase in rejection rate is not.

Just to avoid confusion... this is not entirely true. The membrane will perform better at even higher pressures. It's the pressure limits of other components that limit the max pressure.

HOUSINGS is the terminology you're looking for here. CARTRIDGE FILTERS go inside HOUSINGS.

I did buy the booster pump a while back. run it right at 80psi. yes, there was a huge improvement in volume.
