Question: Why do I need a Booster Pump?

Answer: The greater the water pressure, the better the quantity and quality of the water produced by a Reverse Osmosis system. Water pressure of 60 psi is ideal. To maintain a constant  60 PSI you should consider including a booster pump.  It is the pressure of the incoming water that forces the water through the membrane for purification and flushes the rejected solids away. Low water pressure will result in reduced production and premature fouling of the membrane. The ideal pressure for operating an RO System, as noted above is 60 PSI. Pressure below 40 PSI is generally considered insufficient, and should be boosted using a pressure booster pump.
