    Default Ideas for feed pump when I rebuild my RO

    Right now my RO consists of a gravity fed 140 procon and residential 400s. I got a ss 240 gph procon and a steal on a brand new 3/4 hp motor thru ebay. Planning to plumb that through a 4x40. I could gravity feed it as well, but thought I'd get better flow with a feed pump. Wondering what ideas or thoughts are out there. Thxs, Mark
    2017- Started small-made 7 gallons. Long days & few nights on a 1x2 and turkey fryer.

    2018- Bought a 2x4 and built a small scale RO. 21 gallons.

    2019- moved up to 100 gph procon for my home built RO. Built a steamhood. About 220 taps and 21 gallons again.

    2020- 140 procon on the R0. Added a new mainline at my in laws. 330 taps for 24 gallons, sold excess sap.

    Mark for something of that size just a cheap shallow well pump is more than enough. Just size it accordingly
