Trouble Shooting R.O. Boost Pumps
Trouble Shooting R.O. Boost Pumps
DESCRIPTION
The R.O. boost pump system normally includes at least 3 components (see diagram #1):
1. A 6800 or 8800 series pump, fitted with an integral by-pass mechanism, and driven by a low voltage
permanent magnet motor.
2. A step down transformer designed to power the motor and one or more accessories.
3. A switch that cuts the electricity from the transformer to the pump when the air charged storage tank
pressure reaches a pre-established switch shut off setting, then re-starts the pump as purified water is
withdrawn from the tank.
Other performance enhancing accessories that can be powered by our .8 amp, or 2.0 amp transformers, are
a feed water shut off valve (ESO), and an automatic membrane fast flush valve (AFT), that can also
double as a flow restrictor (AFR).
