teenyreef Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Right! I think with a booster pump it'll get much better My booster pump is one of those pieces of equipment like an ATO. Before you get one you don't mind living without it, and you think it's just a little more money than you want to spend on a small luxury. Then you get one and you realize you've never been able to live without one. I love my booster pump. The Booster Buddie has automatic shutoff when your float valve closes or when the source water is stopped, and when you power it up it automatically flushes your RODI unit. 1 Quote Link to comment

There's no power source under my sink, would have to plug it in each time I want to use it! 1 Quote Link to comment

Can you link me to the booster you like? It'll probably be thr next purchase for my tank, give or take another powerhead. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's on Amazon and Marine Depot, same price ($130). http://www.amazon.com/Aquatic-Life-Booster-Reverse-Osmosis/dp/B00OMBPNHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461989750&sr=8-1&keywords=booster+buddie 1 Quote Link to comment
gus6464 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 According to the Aquatic Life rep the booster buddie has a built-in solenoid so you can actually automate the creation of RODI with floats and an apex. If the unit has no power water will not flow. Also when it does power on to make water it will auto flush. 2 Quote Link to comment

If it was made by some German company with a cool name it would cost at least $500 Quote Link to comment
