Aquatec Series 6800 Booster Pump

A Reverse Osmosis Water System  membrane requires a pressure greater than 50 PSI to function properly. 

The carbon filter cartridges (before the membrane)will cause an additional pressure drop (when new) which actually increases as the filter cartridge is being used and gets dirty. 

For proper performance we recommend a Pressure Boosting Pump (as shown below) for your RO System if your household water pressure is not 53 PSI or greater. 

Find out what your water pressure is. We do sell an inexpensive water pressure tester so you can use to easily measure your household water pressure.

• Use the Aquatec 6800 pump for membranes 50 GPD or less.
• Price Includes:
• 6800 Pump which accepts 1/4" tubing.  Install onto the 1/4" tubing before your Stage 1 Sediment Filter intake.
• Includes 110 volt Transformer.  Plug into a GFC Outlet.
• Automatic Shut Off Switch - You must choose either 1/4" or 3/8" size.  Sensor switch installs onto the tubing coming out of your Pressure Tank, near the tank.
• Pump turns on automatically when the Tank Pressure drops to 40 PSI and turns off automatically when Tank Pressure reaches 60 PSI.

• They will not burn up if you run them dry or stop them up!
• 110 volts AC. uses only 24 watts!
• Do not use for the GE Merlin RO System.  Use the Merlin Booster.
• Manufacturer says these pumps may be field serviced with a Diaphragm Replacement Kit approximately every 3 -4 years, depending on water conditions and usage conditions.
• Aquatec Website Link for info and instructions.
• Use and Install at your own risk.

CALL US if you need this in a 12 volt DC version to operate off of a 12 volt battery system.

Digital Flow Meter with Alarm

What a neat little gadget!

Eliminate the guesswork on your system's filter cartridges by counting the exact number of gallons that has flowed through the system, the number of days your system has been in use, and the current the flow rate.

• Made by a precision instrument company, this is a high quality precision flow meter.
• You enter the number of gallons (capacity) you want to pass through your system and it will accurately count down Capacity Remaining - down to zero.
• Notice Alarm will beep once when the Capacity Remaining is lower than 30 gallons, and Warning Alarm will beep twice when Capacity Remaining reaches zero.
• You can also enter the number of days you want to use a filter and it will count down the number of Days Remaining – down to zero.
• Notice Alarm will beep once when the Days Remaining is lower than 7, and the Warning Alarm will beep twice when Days Remaining reaches zero.
• Also shows you the Flow Rate of your system in Gallons Per Minute.
• Contains a Low Battery Alarm
• Internal memory saves your settings when you remove the battery!
• LCD display uses little power and only turns on when you run the water.
• Uses 2 AAA Batteries.
• Installs in seconds with supplied quick connect fittings onto 1/4” O.D. John Guest tubing, which is what we use on all of our Under Sink and Ro Systems.
• Make a perpendicular slice through the tubing and insert the ends all the way into the orifices – that's it!  (First turn off the water.)
• Size is  2” x  3” x 3”
• NOTICE:  Required Operating Flowrate Range: 0.4-2.0 GPM only. Does not work for RO Systems that process less than 600 GPD!  Works great for carbon filter systems.
• Operating Temperature: 40-104 F.
• Operating Pressure: 7-98 PSI

Water Pressure Tester (0-160 PSI)

Important Notice:

• Under Counter and Reverse Osmosis filter systems are designed for a maximum water service pressure of 95 PSI.
• Reverse osmosis systems require a water service pressure between 63 – 95 PSI

What exactly is your water service pressure? 

Pressures above 95 PSI will damage your system, result in a water leak, and will VOID your warranty.  (We will test for this if the product is returned.)

Pressures below 63 psi will cause the Ro membrane to not function properly. When you buy one of the Reverse Osmosis water filter systems you are obligated to find out what your water service pressure is.

This is now easily and quickly discovered in seconds with this super handy (0 – 160 PSI) Water Pressure Tester.  Simply screw it onto any standard (3/4”) outside  faucet or garden hose, turn on the water, and read the pressure gauge.  That's it! This is the service pressure of your house!

Solve the mystery once and for all!  Impress your friends and neighbors.

Digital TDS Meter (Total Dissolved Solids)

How exactly do you know when your reverse osmosis membrane is starting to go bad and needs replacing?
This pre-calibrated instrument is basically your only way of knowing how well your membrane is holding up. 
Membranes typically last from 1-2 years depending on water quality and quantity pushed through.

Simply measure  the TDS of your untreated tap water – and then compare it against the TDS of your Ro treated water to get an understanding of how well it is performing.
TDS is the total weight of all solids, minerals, salts, or metals -  that are slipping past your membrane.
Generally, it is recommended that you replace the membrane when less than 80 % of the TDS is being removed.

• Measures TDS from 0-999 ppm, with a resolution of 1 PPM.
• Measures TDS from 1,000 – 9,990 ppm, with resolution of 10ppm
• batteries included
• accurate to within +/- 2%.  Factory pre-calibrated.

How To Calculate:

• Use a  calculator for easy results.
• Take the ppms of Untreated Water and subtract from it the ppms of Treated Water.  (Example: 500 untreated – 95 treated  = 405 ppm removed.)
• Now take the ppm removed and multiply by 100.  (405 x 100 = 40,500)
• Now divide it by the ppms of Untreated Water. This is the Percent TDS Removed by your membrane or filter.  ( 40,500 / 500 = 81% TDS Removed.)
• General recommendation: replace membrane if % TDS Removed is 79% or less.
• “Extra purification” recommendation: replace membrane if % TDS Removed is 85-90% or less. 

This will cause you to replace your membrane a little sooner than normal.  This is good if you know you have high levels of arsenic, toxic metals, solvents or pesticides in your water, or if you have the usual trace level quantities-but simply want to keep their concentration reduced to as low as possible.
