1/10 huh? one plant grown under Amare SE 250Your plants are a 1 on a the scale 10 is a 1 compared to real plants lmfao.
That pump uses absolutely no electricity and has boosted my output at least 50% if not more you goofball
when I grow up, I can only hope to grow as well as you
Just for you "a Permeate pump does not increase the feed pressure at all. It decreases the back pressure against the membrane in Pressure tank systems by actually pumping the product water into the storage tank. For open (55 gallon drum, Rubbermaid container, etc) water storage systems it's a waste of money. In those types it doesn't do anything.
This is a perfect example of a product that is hyped by online sellers as a "Miracle" product that will do everything but your water changes for you if you buy it. I've seen claims of 50% reduction in waste, 400% increase in production, etc in an effort to sell these things to people who don't need them. If you have a pressure tank system, it will increase the tank pressure to the same as the feed pressure which is nice and will improve performance to the same as an open system.
They are an Item I don't normally stock (again, most people I deal with don't need them) but I can order. They Go for $45.00 w/ mounting bracket.
The booster pump on the other hand is almost a mandatory accessory if your water pressure is below 45 PSI or drops below 50F. At these feed water conditions, the RO unit is very inefficient and will not perform well.
As far as the positive effects on performance IME, the pressure increase will on the average give a 20-40% improvement over membrane rating".
