Booster pump question

[JGoslee]

I need a booster pump for my typhoon III. Im only getting 25 PSIG
going into my unit. My question is do I need to get a pressure switch to control the pump? Does the pump shut itself off when the desired pressure is reached or when the unit shuts off? Thanks

I believe most pumps are self adjusting with a turn of a screw.

I didnt get one yet. I was looking at these two:

They look like they are the same pump just differant prices.

That's the pump I have. Purchased it about 2 years and it works flawless

So does the pump shuts itself off when the ro/di stops producing water? Also does the pump come with everything you need?

 

[bone]

When you say stops producing water, do you mean when you shut down the water faucet. If so the answer is no, the pump keeps running and running dry

I have the same question. Bone...my ro/di comes on for an hour twice a day spaced 12 hrs apart. Do I need a timer on the booster pump or does it have a shutoff pressure?

 

[JGoslee]

Purelyh2o has an auto shutoff switch but it says for under counter use. So Im not sure if it can be used for ro/di.

If I had this hooked up to a booster pump then it would kill the power to the pump when the ro/di shuts off.

I will e-mail air water and ice just to double check that the pump has not changed design, but mine has no shut off switch. I would have everything plugged into a powerstrip and have the strip into a single timer. This would allow everything to turn on and off at the same time.

Hey!

Hey!

Yes that is the exact same pump and the switch can be used with an RO DI system
