Hey All,
I’ve never used a booster pump as my old house was around 50 psi and water was cheap so I said fine.
Now that water at my new house is expensive, I’ve been looking at ways to be smart with it. 55 psi out of the tap is good but.....
RO booster pumps seem awesome and I can’t believe I never used one before! Faster, better water with less waste, sign me up.
Now for my question. Lots of videos show it inline before the entire unit so Tap-Booster-RO Unit. But then I saw some comments from buckeye hydro that said it should be after the sediment and carbon blocks but before the membranes which makes sense because it’s the membranes that need it.
So how do people plumb it? If you’re before all filters, how do the sediment and carbon filters hold up to the pressure? It’s super easy to do it right after tap so I’d prefer that but not if it blows the filters. BRS videos show it this way so I assume it’s ok?
Thanks!
