HOW TO: Installing a Booster Pump for an RODI Unit. How to increase PSI in your RODI System. AquaFX

[@baronio2]

Thanks. For me it is clear how you mounted the booster in the black tube. What is the object you inserted in the blue cable? Is it necessary? Thanks

[@MASSAquariums]

Not sure what you mean

[@jayi836]

Thanks for the recommendation on the pump great video

[@MASSAquariums]

No problem

[@irishzx9r]

cool video, wow u really have come a long way with your channel 11 k subs coming soon keep up the great work bro

[@MASSAquariums]

Thanks James. And thanks for all your support. I really do appreciate it

[@irishzx9r]

no bother bro its good to see you doing so well

[@DaddyRhyanvlog]

i just bought my 1st RO, the pump not screw when it came so i remove some tube to fix it then i think i messed up the connection. my question is i have the same valve and tube i saw at 5:28 at the back. what is it? what is the purpose? mine is connected at T in between pump out and shutoff valve and other end to the T after high pressure switch. is that correct? i cant find any reference on this setup.

[@TonyJibster]

Nice system and easy setup. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi, how does the float in the bucket connect to the blue line after pressure switch, thanks.

[@fishroombum3771]

Nicely done.

[@MASSAquariums]

Thanks

Great vid. Most people don't realize how much water the cheaper RO/DI units actually use without a booster. Living in Vegas, water conservation is important. At a ratio of as much as 7:1, (waste to RO) it only makes sense to do this. If you live somewhere that has an abundance of water, no real issues, but if this pump can cut your ratio down to 3:1, it's worth it. Don't be a water pig!

[@MASSAquariums]

Agreed

[@FishBehindGlass]

Wow, they did make that simple. Are you going to mount the pump?

[@MASSAquariums]

I think so. Yeah I probably will

[@NotsoSharp]

Question, what is the pressure going into your RO? You will drop PSI going into the filters prior to RO. Maybe better to install booster prior to RO? Seems also most run 1/4" lines vs 1/2. 1/2" feeder line off intake would give more volume, more constant pressure with minimum drop. 1/2" ports on filters to JG reducer 1/2-3/8" into pump and 1/4 into RO. imo

[@MASSAquariums]

+GREG SHARP good info

[@someoyou]

Maybe not so good, coz the pump makes pressure pulses so that tubings and cartridges then stabilize the pressure right at the membrane. Not clearly got why they gave you high pressure switch, it usually has to stop the pump when pressure tank is fiiled

[@someoyou]

It's not bad to have low pressure switch on iinline - it will save the pump when water goes off (if it ever happens) Another useful thing is to make auto stop function when filling your clean RODI tank, I can tell how to do that cheap and simple

[@Androbench]

@@someoyou with my ro system they recommend connecting the pump to the ro membrane

[@jaydee2559]

How much faster is the water output? - I got a 5 stage RO, the pure output is a trickle.. will this make much difference?

[@MASSAquariums]

Yes for sure. Exponential

[@jaydee2559]

@@MASSAquariums thanks

[@andretoles9505]

Thanks bro 👍

[@MASSAquariums]

No problemo

[@73chevybb]

I installed this on my rain soft RO system, does the pump run all the time, hooked it all up correctly but the pump never shuts off.

[@MASSAquariums]

You just unplug the pump

[@73chevybb]

@@MASSAquariums it finally shut off and has been kicking on and off normally when pressure drops, great set up!! Has really increased our drinking water

Cool video Mike 🤗🤗

[@MASSAquariums]

Thanks PB

[@jaydenmarrero6350]

Can you please do a update on your rodi unit please mike

[@TC-dk6do]

mike where you able to lower your psi with that adjustment? i cant seem to get mine down . if i turn it too much it leaks

[@MASSAquariums]

And I bought the membrane flush kit. It has a ball valve you can turn until the PSI is 80. Want me to put the link in the description

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

Great vid man! In getting 80psi from the tap in the bathroom... I wonder if u get better psi in a diff place in your house? Regardless getting it free is awesome! If I got a free algae scrubber then u could prob throw your channels weight and get a sponsored 200g reef tank and equipment! Get on it man lol

[@MASSAquariums]

Haha. Trust me I'm working on it. lol.

[@edwardthayer9386]

Only issue I see is forgot to put the check valve in the product line before the pressure switch. If it wasn't in the box it should have been.

[@pelphrey]

I need to get my booster pump installed. I need more than 24 hours each day!

[@MASSAquariums]

Lol. I hear that. It literally took me less then 5 minutes

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

how do you get all these sponsors?

[@MASSAquariums]

+kevin beard hard work and lots of emails

[@gk9417]

Shouldn’t have your water filter systems over the electrical vacuum system ✌️🇨🇦

[@MASSAquariums]

It’s just there. I’ve never used that vacuum system. Suction Sucks. 😂

[@leongorani5121]

Do you have a well at your home? Is it safe to run an RODI all day with a well?

[@MASSAquariums]

Depends on how good your water table is. I have town water
