After struggling with my 50 GPD RO system's sluggish performance due to low feed pressure (30-40 psi), installing the Aquatec 6800 was a game-changer. The pump effortlessly boosted pressure to 60 psi, eliminating frustrating water shortages. The included PSW-240 pressure switch ensures automatic operation, while the heavy-duty steel base minimizes vibration—though some users report hose rattling.
The standout feature? The adjustable output pressure via a tiny Allen screw (a detail missing from the product listing!). I fine-tuned mine to 70 psi for optimal membrane efficiency. Paired with an optional ESO valve, it prevents water waste during tank refills. Pro tip: Install inline pressure gauges to monitor performance—it’s worth the extra $20.
While quieter than most pumps (inaudible behind closed cabinets), it’s not silent. The rubber feet help, but mounting options would’ve been nice. One user noted it outperformed competitors by reaching 100 psi vs. 80 psi, but the trade-off was slightly more noise during operation.
Perfect for well water setups or homes with low municipal pressure. Just ensure your RO system is functional first—this won’t fix broken components. For under $150, it’s a no-brainer upgrade that delivers restaurant-quality flow rates straight from your tap.
