can i bought a booster pump for my system? hydraulic pressure in my apartment is not high enough and the water can not go into the reservior

Have low pressure, so i needed a boster pump. Installed about 3 months ago. Works flawlessly.

I bought the iSpring system that included an electric pump. There are similar pumps available on Amazon, Ebay etc.

Yes you can, a pump that is rated to pump 75-100 gallons per day is the norm. I do not know where you can purchase a reliable pump, but it will make your RO system works very efficient.

Yes, buy the i spring with the pump and you won't have a problem. I bought this and installed it in my camper. Not much water pressure there but this one does the trick!

There are two types of booster pumps--electric and hydraulic (permeate) pump. One boasts pressure into the system (electric); the other boosts water from the system into the tank. Sounds like you need the former but you should call iSpring if that's the sytem you have. You may also have too much or too little pressure in the holding tank. It should be at 7-9 lbs. More pressure will not increase but may decrease amount held in tank.

I'm not sure you can add pump to the existing system. IMO, you better write to manufacturer.

Probably depends on the size of the tank it was running. I bought a new pump, u can get them dirt cheap on Amazon.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

Yes. I like to use a paddle type flow switch for booster pumps, but a pressure switch will work fine. Setting the high-low and range adjustments can be a little tricky in some situations.

I really doubt it - I've run a string of maybe 20. Search under 'mister booster' and you will find a couple pumps. Filters are a really good idea as the pin holes get clogged really easily.

No, i think you need a higher psi for that. Something else make sure the hose is 80 feet long . The box said we can get this at Walmart but is it not true . I E-mail Amazon about it that i wanted to buy the hose .no luck

I'm sure you can delete the booster. I run my pump at 2100 RPM. It runs my pool sweep very well. I have "The Pool Cleaner," which I highly recommend as a pool sweep. If I crank the RPMs higher, the sweep will climb up the walls and out of the water. These pumps are great and I was quite a skeptic before I got mine. However, you should make sure that your pipe diameter is at least 2 inch and that your filter isn't impeding flow. Both of these might be true given the size of your prior pumps.

When you refer to reducer are you referring to a regulator. You should only have one regulator, not two. If you do not have a regulator that could be your problem. The regulator should be on the outlet line which would be between the booster pump and your house. There are several diagrams available on the internet which shows the different ways to run your system.

Do you mean if the inlet pressure is sufficient then the booster pump would cutoff? I do not think so because the pump would need a bypass if this was the case and I have not seen such. Without a bypass the pump would limit water flow so you would not have the pressure at the necessary flow rate with the pump not running. the purpose of the booster pump is to make sure their is sufficent pressure with sufficient fo to run the polaris so it cleans effectively. If your system has enough pressure without it it you dont need one, btu if you need one you need it all the time, if you want your pool clean that is.

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

Unless they have changed the design, you need a presta pump, or a combination pump (both presta and shrader in one pump.) I suggest you invest in a nice pump as we broke ours after one day of rocket launches. You may want to try a shrader pump with a presta adapter, since the cheaper combo ones can fail under pressure, at least in my experience.

Yes you can but it will take a lot longer to pump up and if you have the right adaptor for it

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

I did not need any booster pump on my basement installation that feeds a kitchen faucet and refrigerator. Manufacturer has mentioned that a booster pump can be added and I also saw few video on you tube, thinking I might need it.

Same problem. Well man told me to buy a Grundfos low start load pump. Haven't tried it but pretty sure the startup load is too high which the Grundfos may solve.

The stop valve needs to be fully open and replaced if old. The mains water valve should be be fully opened. This is situated outside the house or apartment. The increase of water pressure will blow-out any air in the system. If other utilities are up to pressure, dishwasher shower etc., the problem will be with the machine or your supply pipe which should be 3/4 diameter not 1/2 diameter (copper pipe). Good luck. GPM 3-4 minutes to fill.

I know my home has higher than normal water pressure, and 3 out of 3 of these stopped working reliably for me after less than a dozen uses, so I think they can't hand anything higher than the typical pressure range of water mains. I wouldn't be surprised if 200 psi blew the thing up.
