I've always assumed it was produced pure water, if it was the total of water processed then it would be false advertising
It is pure output that is measured @Part Timer .
US gallons = 4 litres UK, a day = 24 hours. Perfect water temperature, perfect applied water pressure and specific input water tds for best results.
At best, we might be able to produce 25% to 30% of their specifications under normal conditions. It's similar to new car MPG claims. We can never achieve the figures quoted.

In over 15 years my R/O has never got anywhere 60ltrs an hour even with a booster pump, a mate down the road from me has 40/21 and can fill his 1000ltr static tank in around 3 hours, this leaves him surplus water as well which came in handy last week when I forgot to fill my tank overnight and only realised when I went to drop the sub pump in the tank on the morning

He copied my reply ?
My pressure as gone down to Approx 60psi
temperature can cause it to fluctuate from Approx 1000l to 1200l in 24hr.
Purefreedom sell Aquatec booster pumps. Aquatec have a good name. You need one that has a 24v transformer included, not just the pump on its own.
there are 6 pints in an american gallon
3.409566 ltrs = 6 pints which is an American gallon.
Thank you spruce,what is a 24v transformer?is that inside the pump,do they have a plug on them or do i have to hook it to a battery,il have a look now.
That’s my water pressure I don’t use a pump ?
You plug it into 230v, and it reduces the voltage to 24v. Forget connecting it up to a battery, as you will need 2 x 12v batteries and a 24v charger.
Just keep it simple. First are your prefilters, then add your booster pump and then the membranes. You don't need isolating valves etc. I believe the pump you want is the 8800 series. They have an internal bypass in the head of the pump. Once the pressure gets up to where it is set to, a relief valve releases the water back to the input side of the pump.
If memory serves me @doug atkinson has several models, but I can't see anything listed on his site.
Thank you den an spruce
Iv a confession lads lol i had a whole new heating system put in last summer an i didnt even think to check the valve under my sink,iv just checked it an it was only half way turned,so i turned it full way there now an the pressure has rocketed lol i hooked the ro up an the pure is coming out very fast now,so i dont think i will need a booster pump,i feel silly now?
I have my ro on my kitchen bench beside the window with holes drilled for the hoses,though i want to put it outside now beside my ibc when it comes on monday,i know the frost will wreck it come the winter again,so im thinking of making a ply box with 18inch an insulating it,anyone else have there ro outside?
