Update on RO system
Ok....ive installed a 450gpd system with auto flush .....mains pressure is 70 psi but my problem is flow rate or the lack of it.....!
My thoughts first is to install a booster pump .....could someone steer me in the right direction ....if a pump is the right way to go...which make would you advise to buy ? cheers mark

I had a similar problem and a pump solved it.
I bought the first one for about £80 I think but it packed up in less than a year.
pump number two was expensive but very very good, increased the output of the RO unit significantly too.
This is what I bought:
Self-Regulating Booster Pump for 200gpd to 450gpd RO Systems - Osmotics Water Filtration
I can't recommend the pump or the company highly enough.

Have you got a variable flow restrictor?
I fitted one (my system didn't have one) and that made quite a difference too (not enough to not need the pump though)

That's where mine came from too. I heard they went out of business but I don't know that as a fact.

To be honest you really can't tell from a picture (or at least I can't).
It's all about the internals.
I don't like the fact it says 400 GPD when you're going to use it on a 450.
