Booster Pump Hook up

Funky_Fish14 · #1 04-19-2009, 05:18 AM

Are you dumping the product water into a pressure tank or just a large resevoir?

Im about to pick a booster pump up too, and wondering the same thing.

Into a rubbermaid..

Don't get a Coralife if you don't have a coralife RO unit as by the research i have done you can't hook it up to anything but a Coralife.

Sooo now i have to and try and find a new one..

Im dumping into a 61g polyethelyne bin.

Oh really? That sucks! You cant convert the piping? The coralife R/O units use standard 1/4 inch vinyl tubing i thought?

I was looking at this one specifically:

Oddly this thing has a low pressure switch and a high pressure switch. To witch i have no idea where either goes..

And coralifes instructions dont show you anything...

Yes i may have to resort to that one to..

I just did a google search on it... it actually sounds like hookup is not too bad, and I think from BulkReefSupply there, it comes with the right connections for 1/4" vinyl tubing. It sounds like the auto-shut off switch will actually kill it when the water flow is turned off... which sounds ideal in our cases.

About that booster pump - My dad just bought it for me off Ebay... for less than on BulkReefSupply. It was 115 canadian. It just doesnt come with the auto shut-off switch. Just the heads up incase you decide to buy.

If you did not have a ro faucet, then the DI would go there, otherwise, the di would T off of the storage tank.
