Review on ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watts Premier Permeate Pump: Complete Install Kit for Optimal Performance (Model 560041) by Ronny Prather

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes, it clicks. No, it's not that loud if you adjust it properly.

This ERP 1000 pump is a pretty good match for any 100GPD reverse osmosis system but can get a bit tangled if all the hoses fit between the pump and filter system. The pump instructions show a generic, slightly confusing diagram. Just be patient, find all the connection points on the filter and you'll be fine. I didn't have to use any additional hoses other than those that came with the filter kit (express water) and pump, but it was very tight - I was almost out of spare hoses, even though I cut everything to the length I wanted. Depending on how and where you install your kit, you may need additional 1/4" tubing. Color coding is not necessary if you plan your route carefully and mark the connections if necessary. Tip: Use cable labels on hoses, e.g. B. for Ethernet cable. Since I ordered and installed this pump with a filter kit, I don't have a before and after comparison. The tank fills up empty in about 35 minutes while the instructions for the filter kit say it takes about 2-3 hours. Any hint, I'm a strong believer in reducing waste (brine) from 3:1 to 1:1. I installed the pump on the floor at the back of the cabinet under the sink. Yes, I hear a click. I'm in the same room as him, but he's below my threshold. It is definitely below the volume of a normal conversation. If you have a very quiet home, this can be a bigger problem. But I have two small children and the dog makes noise during the day. And with an OVERALL fill time of 35 minutes, even if someone drinks a glass or two of water just before bed, this won't be a problem at night. If noise really bothers you, you can use rubber isolation pads. In any case, there will be some noise from this pump depending on how it works.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
