The AquaticLife Smart Buddie Booster Pump for 50 to 100 GPD RO Systems increases the pressure going into your RO or RO/DI system to make it operate more efficiently. It can also decrease the consumption of DI resin. Designed as an accessory for Reverse Osmosis units in areas with low water pressure, or for users that want maximum output and the best quality filtered water from their RO systems. The Smart Buddie booster pump is quiet, easy to install, and can significantly increase water output. 

Reverse osmosis is a pressure-driven process. Small residential RO units will theoretically operate on very low pressure?down to 35 psi?but the reality is you won't get a lot of water and the product water quality may be compromised if the unit runs below 45 psi. RO units typically run well on municipal water pressure of 60 psi, but they run even better with a small pump to boost the pressure to 80 psi or higher. The increased pressure will also improve the economy of the unit (it will run less reject water) as well as the quality of the water. RO units thrive on pressure.
