Permeate Pump
How to add a permeate pump to a Watts WP-RO4 system where the membrane and post-filter are integrated?

I purchased the Watts WP-RO4 system from Costco, which is the model that all filters and membrane are integrated in one piece. Now I want to install a permeate pump, but realize that it should be installed after membrane but before
the T-branch to the tank and the post-filter. However, since this is a one-piece system, such location is not available.
Is there any way to install a permeate pump to such a system?
Hi, Matt,
Here is the picture of my RO system with membrane removed: http://picasaweb.google.com/changfan/UntitledAlbum#5307947169654548738.
One the back, there is a tube at the permeate output of the membrane connecting to the tank, and another permeate output after the blue post-filter. Thanks.

Sounds like your going to have to do some custom fabrication. I don’t know your unit in particular but if you have a filter located after the membrane is it filtering the permeate only? If this is the case I would pull the membrane housing apart and normally there is a o-ringed shaft that the permeate is going through before it hits the filter. So would chop the filter off the permeate output and install my pump there. I would have to see how the end of the housing looks, if you can post pictures on photobucket and link them here we might be able to help you more.

Regular auto shut off valves will turn off the water feeding the RO system when the tank pressure reaches 60% of the incoming water pressure. When using a permeate pump, the work of feeding the tank has been eliminated. So you can put more water in the tank efficiently. That means you can use the 90% valve which will let the tank fill until it reaches 90% of the incoming water pressure. More wat...
