Yes, 450 gallons here is over 2000 litresIsn’t that us gallons though? They are less than ours
I've always assumed it was produced pure water, if it was the total of water processed then it would be false advertisingI always wondered it that 450gpd is through put i.e. waste and pure or just pure. Any ideas?
Yes all attainable in the laboratory but real world never going to happen ???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 morningYes I quite agree it’s false advertising, if one’s want that level of water production then a 4040 it the way to go , we have twin rod and booster pumps in all vans and an produce. 1000 ltr of our in 2 hours we only dump around 20% due to low tds but when working in higher tds areas dump up to 40-50 % and then it takes a bit longer
He copied my reply ?What @spruce said ?
My pressure as gone down to Approx 60psiDen what is your mains pressure,how long to get 1000l?
Thank you den what sort of booster pump are you using?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.Thank you den what sort of booster pump are you using?
there are 6 pints in an american gallonYes all attainable in the laboratory but real world never going to happen ???

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.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.
That’s my water pressure I don’t use a pump ?Thank you den what sort of booster pump are you using?
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.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.
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.What else would i need lads,do i need a gauge after my booster pump?
Is it worth isolating with taps at different intervals?
Any input of hows yous do it would be great?

If memory serves me @doug atkinson has several models, but I can't see anything listed on his site.
