So here's the RO/RI unit that I will be using. Never ran a RO unit up till this point. Never seemed to have any real issues over the years, but figured it is time. Prevent any guessing over future water issues that may occur.

<raises hand> Oh! Oh! I can answer that Mr. Teacher! A booster pump is a good idea if your source water has low pressure, like that if you're on a well system, because you want your inlet pressure to be >80psi or even closer to 100psi if possible.

Tony you weren't one of those kids I used to throw erasers, gum balls and stuff at sitting in front of the class where you ?
 Yes I'm on a well out here in the good old country, so yes I need a good steady pressure as my my pressure tank runs between 40 psi to 60 psi so I need something steady. The computer piece is for a few different things like doing an auto back flush, TDS sensor/display for in and out readings and so on. Having a little issue with it I think. The middle canister seems to get air in it and is usually only half full of water or half full of air - depends on how you wanna look at it.  Anyone have one to compare ?Quote:

A couple of new goodies. Thought I'd give the pellets a try. Seems most people are having some good results with them. I do have a heavy bio load as I feed my fish a good amount. I do also run Zeovit at the moment so I'll see how they work together. I'm a Tunze fan but this pump sure looks like a Sicco pump, I'll have to do a little digging to see if there is any connections. I really like the twist off top of the Vertex reactor, may have to get another one for my carbon.
The goodies  The Tunze 1073.02 pump for the reactor  The Vertex UF 20 reactor

Pretty sure the "computer thingy" is an inline digital TDS meter. Might possibly be a membrane monitor too? I have both on my unit.
