Aquatec 6800 Series RO Booster Pump for up to 50 GPD 1/4"JG 24 VAC 6840-2J03-B221S

Really quiet

I got this pump as a spare for my RO unit. Not long after acquiring this pump the pump already in the unit failed. The motor simply stopped turning. ( Usually these pumps don't fail that way. The motor still turns, but they lose their ability to pump water. ) Around the same time, I changed the sediment pre-filter and membrane and pressure switch.After fitting the new pump, further investigation showed that solenoid shut-off valve was not closing properly as had a fair amount of crud in it. So did a lot the 1/4" plastic tubing used in the unit did as well, so I cleaned that out too. The solenoid valve and tubes had never been cleaned in the 19 years I've had the RO unit..Anyway, the new pump pumps fairly well, but does not generate enough pressure to make the pressure switch shut off; the pump just keeps running, so I just control the motor manually, allowing it to run 2-3 hours a day. Possibly, the new pressure switch is defective and I should try putting the old one back in to see if the pump will generate enough pressure to turn it off.

Purchased for my chameleon cage to provide timer automated water misting throughout the day. I owned one of these in the same model previous to this and it lasted about 2 years before it stopped working. They are expensive but very much worth it with proper tubing to get the job done I need it to. It does move a lot side to side when it is on and is attached via screws to the plastic thick lid of my bucket where it will pull the water from. But I suppose that is the power it needs to suck up the water. Many people don't know how to remove the tubing from these one they are in. The key is to push JUST the grey circle around the tubing inward and then you can pull out the tube. Took me a while to figure that out.If your run out of water while it is on and it's running dry, you'll need to prime the inside of it with water again (no tube), then reinsert the tube once you get it to flow. Here are the steps to prime: 1) remove outlet tube as described above. 2) Ensure inlet tube is submerged in water completely 3) Turn pump on 4) Wait until water flows out of the outlet 5) Turn off 6) Reattached outlet tubing.

Sized as indicated

Check the manufacture date on the label if you get one of these. The warranty starts when it is made, not when you purchase it.I purchased one of these in January of 2012. I didn't notice that the date of manufacture printed on the label was 08/26/2010. When the pump failed last month, waterfiltersonline referred me to Aquatec, the manafacturer. Aquatec told me that it is out of warranty, and won't help me.I'm still waiting to see if waterfiltersonline is going to help.

Factory replacement part, got my osmotic filtration system back up and running. Installation was easy and quick.

Works good boosted well water pressure to 80psi

Very quiet and easy to installHighly recommend for any RO system
