Sizing a booster pump for your RO system
RO membranes need a minimum feed pressure to operate at rated capacity: 40-80 psi for residential systems, 150-400 psi for commercial systems. When incoming water pressure falls short, a booster pump raises it to the required operating range so the membrane can perform at its full rated production.
AMPAC booster pumps are sized to match each system model, and are available in 1/4 HP, 1/2 HP, 1 HP, and 1.5 HP configurations with standard inlet and outlet port sizes. That standardization means our booster pumps are compatible with most commercial and residential RO systems, not just AMPAC-built units, as long as the operating pressure specification matches your system.
For custom sizing, provide your current inlet pressure, required system pressure, and daily production target, and our team will specify the correct pump for your application.
