Booster pump help to get the proper pressure through your rodi thus making the system more efficient. It depends how much pressure your water is coming into house

A booster pump increases the pressure on the input side of the membrane. A permeate pump lowers the pressure on the back of the membrane by pumping the water that went through the membrane out. Both act to increase the pressure difference across the membrane but in opposite ways.

If you have good input pressure then a permeate pump is the way to go to increase the system efficiency.

I get 80 PSI from the tap so a booster pump would do nothing for me. I have added a 2nd 75 gph membrane. I think I will try the permeate pump.

Hello ned,


Your package is still on the way, but it may arrive later than today, July 10.

USPS recently informed us about this potential delay.

I have one on my kitchen sink. Someone before described the physics of these pumps, and yes it does improve water production efficiency. The one I have is noisy, we can hear it when the unit is making water and the exhaust water is expelled down the drain.
