What Are the Benefits of This Upgrade?
By adding the PurePro HF-8367 RO Booster Pump to your system, you
no longer need to worry about a lack of pressure from your homes
water supply.
With higher water pressure, your RO/DI system will produce more RO
production water with less wastewater and a much lower TDS value
on your RO production water, which will also dramatically reduce
your DI resin replacement costs.
This upgrade kit provides everything you need to upgrade your system with a booster pump,
including a high and low-pressure switch to detect when your water reservoir is full and disable
the booster pump accordingly.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: This product is designed for connection to your homes water supply & mains
power. Failure to adhere to the below points could lead to injury, flooding and/or
product damage.
• Prior to operation check all connections are secure.
• This product is only suitable for use indoors, in dry environments due to the electrical
components incorporated into the system. Use outdoors or in humid environments such as in
close proximity to aquarium sumps can cause permanent damage to the system and/or
personal injury due to electric shock.
• Inspect all connections, fittings and tubes for cracks, leaks and bulging hourly for the first 6
hours of operation following installation. Inspect every 6 months thereafter and after any
system adjustments, replacing as necessary.
• Always turn off the source water connection to this product when not in use to prevent flooding
in the event of a leak.
• Connecting this system directly to your aquarium or aquarium sump is not recommended.
Doing so may result in the flooding of your aquarium and harm to your aquarium’s inhabitants.
• This system is not designed to be connected directly to a float or similar valve within an
aquarium sump. These types of valves place excessive pressure on the system and its
electronics by causing the system to cycle rapidly between on an off cycles. This can cause
permanent damage to the system and the risk of an electrical short.
• It is recommended to install the system in an area with appropriate drainage to avoid flooding
in the event of a leak.
• Do not leave this product running and unattended for long periods of time.
• Make sure all electrical connections are up and away from any potential leaks or spills.
• Before making any adjustments to this product, disconnect it from mains power.
• Make sure hands are dry before touching any electrical components.
• In the event of a leak, turn off and disconnect it from mains power before making any
adjustments.

Overview

4. Maintenance Features

The PurePro HF-8367 RO Booster Pump is an upgrade kit designed to enhance the performance of existing Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Reverse Osmosis/Deionization (RO/DI) water filtration systems. Its primary function is to increase water pressure within the system, addressing issues caused by insufficient home water supply pressure.

Function Description:

The core function of the PurePro HF-8367 RO Booster Pump is to boost the water pressure supplied to an RO/DI system. By doing so, it optimizes the efficiency of the RO membrane, leading to several benefits:

• Increased RO Production Water: Higher pressure forces more water through the RO membrane, resulting in a greater volume of purified water.
• Reduced Wastewater: Improved efficiency means less water is wasted during the filtration process.
• Lower Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Enhanced pressure allows the RO membrane to more effectively remove dissolved solids, leading to purer product water with a significantly lower TDS value.
• Reduced DI Resin Replacement Costs: With lower TDS in the RO production water, the downstream DI resin cartridges will last longer, reducing the frequency and cost of replacements.
• Automated Operation: The kit includes high and low-pressure switches. These switches automatically detect when the water reservoir is full and disable the booster pump, preventing over-pressurization and unnecessary operation.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific numerical specifications like flow rate or power consumption are not explicitly detailed in the provided manual, the following are implied or mentioned:

• Model Number: PurePro HF-8367 RO Booster Pump.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with RO and RO/DI systems.
• Pressure Output: The pump is expected to increase system pressure to typically between 80 psi and 95 psi, as indicated by a system's pressure gauge after installation.
• Electrical Components: The system incorporates electrical components, requiring connection to mains power via a supplied AC adaptor.
• Mounting: Features a preinstalled mounting plate with rubber vibration-absorbing feet to minimize noise and vibration during operation.
• Connections: Utilizes 1/4″ Jaco style input fittings for connecting to the system's feed water inlet tube. It has both an inlet and outlet connector, with arrows indicating the direction of flow.

Usage Features:

• Indoor Use Only: The pump and its associated electrical components are strictly for indoor use in dry environments. Exposure to liquids or use in humid conditions (e.g., near aquarium sumps) can cause permanent damage and pose an electric shock risk.
• Installation Flexibility: Ideally, the booster pump should be installed between the sediment filter and carbon stage of an RO system. This placement provides additional protection to the pump by ensuring only filtered water passes through it, preventing clogging. If this is not feasible, it can also be installed before the RO system in the main feed water line.
• Directional Flow: The pump has clearly marked inlet and outlet connectors with arrows to guide correct installation and ensure proper water flow.
• Automatic Shut-off: The included high and low-pressure switches automate the pump's operation, turning it off when the reservoir is full to prevent overfilling and conserve energy.
• Recommended Run Time: It is crucial not to run the booster pump for periods greater than 3 hours continuously. A rest period of 1 hour between uses is recommended to prevent serious and permanent damage to the pump.
• Not for Direct Aquarium Connection: The system is not recommended for direct connection to an aquarium or aquarium sump, nor to float or similar valves within an aquarium sump. Such connections can lead to flooding, harm to aquatic inhabitants, excessive pressure on the system, rapid cycling between on/off states, permanent damage, and electrical short risks.

Maintenance Features:

• Pre-Operation Check: Before operation, all connections must be checked to ensure they are secure.
• Initial Leak Inspection: After installation, all connections, fittings, and tubes should be inspected hourly for the first 6 hours for any cracks, leaks, or bulging.
• Routine Inspection: Following the initial period, inspections should be conducted every 6 months and after any system adjustments, with replacements made as necessary.
• Source Water Shut-off: The source water connection to the product should always be turned off when not in use to prevent flooding in the event of a leak.
• Electrical Safety: All electrical connections must be kept up and away from any potential leaks or spills. Before making any adjustments to the product, it must be disconnected from mains power. Hands must be dry when touching electrical components.
• Leak Protocol: In the event of a leak, the system must be turned off and disconnected from mains power before any adjustments or repairs are attempted.
• Drainage Consideration: It is recommended to install the system in an area with appropriate drainage to mitigate potential flooding risks from leaks.
• Unattended Operation: The product should not be left running unattended for long periods.
