What hp booster pump is required?

We sold the house that we had a pool (and this item) last year. We didn't add anything to our existing pool pump and filter.

Most in-ground modern pools have a vacuum outlet where you just plug the Poolvergnuegen without requiring any booster or additional pump.

No booster used. We have a variable speed main pump that goes up to 2.5 KW but probably usually consumes 800-1000 W and thats enough.

I have the Hayward Super Pump. Not sure of the HP it was dark when I got home tonight. I'll check it and let your know.

I've had the item for 5 months now and it has lasted, however, I made the mistake of thinking I needed the permeate pump when I actually needed the booster pump. The permeate pump requires 75 psi to work and so the effect will be the same result as you have experienced unless you install a booster pump. I would tell you to go with the booster pump first and then get the permeate pump.

I'd say that is quite possible. You will most likley need an electrical upgrade to handle the 3 HP pump.Hope you planned that.MJ

Well I have a 1 1/2 hp hayward pump and this filter handles it fine, very sturdy. I would think that an extra 1/2 hp would be fine for this model. Best of luck!Andy

This unit Has a Booster Pump and Does Use A Transformer To Run. I Believe It Was 12 VDC That Actually Runs It , That Being Said You May Wire It To Run On A 12 Volt deep Cycle Battery and Recharge It Whenever Needed As Well. The Unit W Pump Is Really Used Where Water Pressure is To Low For The R/O Membrane To Be Efficient IfYour Pressure Is Good You Don't Really Need This Unit.

I did not purchase an extra booster and use it as supplied. The pressure and volume are similar to an under sink storage tank model. The difference is that this unit is on demand so you do not need a storage tank...you're calculations are a good estimate.

I don't know the answer to that, however, I use them under 3-5 HP water booster pumps and they work fine. I have also used them under whirlpool (Jucazzi style) bathtubs pumps as well. Hope this helps you some.

I bought the one without the booster pump and it work perfectly fine. Like you I do not have low pressure

I don't think the 280 would perform correctly without the booster pump, after all, it was designed to work with the booster pump. The 360 is designed to work without a booster pump and would probably be a better choice for those who do not wish to add a booster pump.In my case, I already had a booster pump and a dedicated line from a previous cleaner (Hayward Viper), so I chose the 280 and have been happy with it so far.

I wish is was a 1 HP pump but I am pretty sure the one I received has a 1/2 HP pump in it, at least the literature that came with it says it's a 1/2 HP. I have not acturally looked inside at the spec label on the pump but I have looked at the pump from outside and it looks like the size of a 1/2 HP pump. It's too small for a 1 HP pump. Plus a 1 HP grinder pump purchased just by its self would cost you at least $600 or $700.

Although RCC7 may still work at 35 psi but not efficient especially water temperature drops below 60F, if source water pressure is below 45 psi, the models with booster pump (RCC7P, RCC1P) is recommended. The booster pump kit includes the bump, high/low pressure switches, solenoid valve and 110v to 24v transformer. If you are existing customer, it would be easier to just contact us and we will ship you an assembled machine head of RCC7P with a shipping label for shipping back the RCC7's. iSpring Water Systems (678) 261-7611 M-F 9-5 sales@ispringfilter.com

I use a simple 12V air pump I got a K-mart. just get one with the different input nozzles.

Depends on how much pressure of water pressure you want. I'm using the pump for home use. The 1 HP pump is sufficient for home use

It does have a sweeping action and no, it does not need a booster pump. It runs on the suction side of the pump system.

The 3/4 HP shallow well pictured should be adequate. We pump over 100 ft. . Do not get a 1/2 horsepower.

Yes, a 1hp pump will work, but so would a 1/2 hp. The location of the pump/filter above the pool water level will effect the performance of the pump filter. Check the pricing of different hp pumps, buy the most cost effective.
