Nola inspector won't pass this, says 8 GPM flow and 3/4 pipe is needed. Must I replace this with a 40 gal tank, or can I augment with Point of use?

you have left off some key pieces of information. Every jurisdiction has their own requirements. If your inspector decides that you need a certain design to be incompliance with local codes, that is the requirement. So not knowing how you have the Rheem deployed, it is hard to answer your question. Your best bet if to ask the inspector about point of use and get their requirement.

I was once a building contractor and from speaking with other contractors that did business in Orleans parish it's a matter of greasing the inspectors palms. One guy told me he had to take notes from his father on his death bed on which inspector got how much, because you don't want to hand the inspector that gets a $20 bill a $100 and vise versa. Offer to buy the guy lunch and then try and get an idea of the price on what kind of lunch he wants. Johnny's Poboy, $20 but if he says Brennen's it would be $100. Good luck to you, I sure wouldn't want to be stuck in NOLA with this crap going on.

pol is the way the hose is connected to tank. it doesn't use the standard barbque hose hook up. tank is 20 galllons

You will need a tee fitting(install in the line going to your existing 3Gal tank.) and some tubing to run between the tee and your new tank. I recommend installing a valve before the tee when you do this, for future use.

I do not know, you can remove your tank cover and look at the fill unit, then compare it with the flow master.

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!

Travis, you could use a 2088-554-144, which is available here on Amazon for $69. Your -403- model is from the late 80's, early 90's, and no longer available. The -554- has comparable amperage rating with regard to flow & pressure: 5.2 amps at 30 psi, vs. 4.6 amps at 40 psi (your biggest concern should be comparing amperage ratings). Make sure your rv has a 10 or 15 amp pump fuse. The 544 has a slightly better flow rating at 3.5 gpm, and can lift water from 9' instead of 7'. Both pumps use 1/2" threaded fittings.

That's a long haul... Hope the point is not too deep.... Anyway the pump inlet is 1 1/4 so you'll want to adapt down from 1.5 pipe to 1.25 right near the pump

Sir, I live by the Grand Canyon. Everyone heare uses a shallow well pump. The water tanks are buried 34" in the ground for a rise of three feet to the pump and then the house. This is a shallow well system. It has no effect on your hot water. The flow rate, 4GPM is irrelevant. The pump has an internal pressure gauge to deliver approximately 40 GPM to your home

You can text me a picture and I can tell you exactly what you need, I may even have an old aqua pure valve laying around here so depending on what is wrong, maybe we can just fix that unit?Will 623.695.1524 cellABC WATER EQUIPMENT

I am sure you can. Just try to get as close to the GPH that the old one was. You may have to rig up a hose to fit the nozzle but that shouldn't be that hard. Have you tried to contact the manufacturer? They might sell you a replacement although it might be more expensive than an aftermarket one.

165,000 BTU for this unit. Im not sure where brian is getting his info but you need to know the unit BTU output to figure out the pipe size and so on. Were you able to hook your unit up? If so what size tank did you use? How long does the tank last?

You need one full inch (I just measured) from the side of each prong to the very edge of the side. Also this has a sticker on it reading "Not For Use With Aquariums And All Other Water Related Products!" I would suggest you might swap out your old outlet for a 12amp GFI Outlet. They are only about $12.00 and they're very easy to install. It is "Code" to have a GFI anywhere near a sink or tub anyways. Good Luck!

Dave, you'll need to buy some hose and fittings. I converted my tank to 3/8" hose because the unit comes with 1/4" hose output. I used quick connect fittings also so unhooking hoses is a snap.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide a GPH estimate, as there are too many variables involved (water pressure and flow rate, system configuration, hose length, and so on). Sorry!

I found out I did not need one. Identify the flow, I took the cartridge out by removing the four bolts that hold it to the impeller housing sweated copper lines to it and re-assembled. When re-assembling use a little Vaseline to hold the o-ring in place and use locktite on the screws. You will need a 5/32 allen wrench.

Sorry no idea. We run off of a 500 gal. tank. Suggest you contactB & S directly- their engineering dept. will be able to answer.
