Hello I just got my booster pump from air water and Ice and I have no clue on how to get it to work I have it plugged correct and all but cant seem to fine tune it so it will increase pressure. I am asking that someone plz help me. I will post a link of the pump and hopefully someone has some good help for me as I would like it so I can start setting up my 150g.

Here is the link of the pump:

Also on my ro/di its semi new I got it new from tito and its rated 150gpd all filters and membrain are new maybe 150 gal of water threw them. My psi on my water from the wall is 22 so the meter says and i have it set up with a T and not the piece thats pierces the copper pipe. I live in ridgewood if anyone lives near I will gladly pay a few bucks for help with set up tyvm again all who have advice
 
Sometimes another set of eyes can help, whats your schedule tomorrow? I have hrs until 7 can be around your place near 8
 
It may weel be that 22 PSI that yolu're feeding the pump with. I have a similar pump that I got from BRS, and it doesn't even turn on unless it's getting 40 PSI into it.
You can bypass the pressure switch to see if that's the problem, but in all honesty, I'd call AWI and ask them about that.
 
I asked and they said it would work with any psi just dont use with more then 40 psi so i am good but i am hearing they have a problem with there pressure switch and I wish I new how to by pass it. Again sry harry for today I got stuck at work with a big ...... you know what and had no way of getting out of it. I am looking to stop by your office tomorrow since I will be in that area if its ok ?
 
The low voltage transformer should have 2 wires coming from it. One goes directly to the pump and the other goes to the pressure switch. Make sure the transformer is NOT plugged i, and remove the wire that goes from the switch to the pump at the pump. With that wire removed, take the wire that goes from the transformer to the switch, remove it from the switch and connect it to the open post on the pump. Now, when you p/lug the transformer into the wall, the pump should turn on. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry. You must connect the water supply BEFORE connecting the transformer to an outlet.

**EDIT** Please excuse the look of my 2 posts in this thread. I'm posting from my phone and my fat finjgers have a hard time with this itty bitty keyboard**
 
Ok Still nothing I tried removing the Pressure switch I also tried hooking it up before the membrain with out the sed filter. Still nothing here are some pics maybe this will help
