    With the feed pump adding almost 50PSI to the system I did not have a problem running the pump that high.

    I spoke with a company that did in home RO designs and setups and they recommended me going with the Goulds over the Procon pump as they didnt believe the Procon would sufficiently pump enough sap over the membranes to prevent fouling. I wish I had gone with the 10GBS model though instead, but I really cant complain too much. A single tote of sap is about the maximum I get on a daily run. If I was getting more sap I would go to the next size pump and add a 3rd membrane.

    I believe I paid $650 for the pump.
