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.

Now we are getting there
Thank-you!!!

So now since my husband isn't home we need to talk Girl language...lol
Where would the low pressure and high pressure switch go??
I am starting to see how it all comes together it is just the 2 switches that are messing me up!!

Here is what i am looking at...

The pump has an inlet and outlet then comes the high pressure switch that has an inlet and outlet..Then the low pressure that just has an outlet only

I don't have the instructions for the coralife unit. In the diagram for the water general, the solenoid ESO, is marked input, output. So it matters which tubing goes where. Their pressure switch,TSO, is not marked, therefore you can connect input/ output to whichever side you want.

This diagram shows you where the low and high pressure lines are located. Put the switches in the proper line. good to go.

Ignore the electronic-shutoff unit name. This is where the high pressure switch goes.

So it looks like the booster pump is connected to the R/O system prior to the prefilters even?

When your water pressure in the mains is low you put a booster pump before the RO. The RO unit needs at least about 50 psi to operate efficiently IMO
