- Identify Components: Locate your RO system, storage tank, and the new booster pump and high-pressure switch.
- Connect High-Pressure Switch: Install the high-pressure switch on the purified water line, typically between the RO membrane and the storage tank. Ensure the flow direction is correct.
- Connect Booster Pump: Install the booster pump on the inlet water line to the RO system, before the RO membrane. Ensure the inlet and outlet ports are correctly oriented.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the high-pressure switch to the booster pump using the provided connection wire. Then, connect the 24V power adapter to the pump and plug it into a power outlet.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all quick-connect fittings are securely seated to prevent leaks.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Automatic Start/Stop Function
The integrated high-pressure switch automatically controls the pump's operation. When the RO storage tank pressure reaches a preset level (indicating the tank is full), the high-pressure switch will turn off the pump. When water is drawn from the tank and the pressure drops, the switch will activate the pump again to refill the tank. This function conserves energy and extends the lifespan of the pump.
4.2 Adjustable Working Pressure

The working pressure of the pump can be adjusted to suit environmental conditions and specific RO system requirements. Use the included 2.5mm T-shaped flat head hex wrench to adjust the pressure screw located on the pump. Turning the screw clockwise typically increases pressure, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases pressure. Adjust gradually and monitor your system's performance.
5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Moonshan booster pump, consider the following maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections for leaks. Ensure the pump and tubing are free from kinks or obstructions.
- Cleanliness: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free from dust or debris.
- Filter Replacement: Ensure your RO system's pre-filters and membrane are replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Clogged filters can put undue strain on the booster pump.
- Storage: If the pump will not be used for an extended period, drain any water from it and store it in a dry, cool place.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your booster pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not turn on | No power; Faulty power adapter; High-pressure switch engaged (tank full); Loose wiring. | Check power connection; Test power adapter; Check tank pressure; Secure all electrical connections. |
| Low water pressure/flow | Clogged filters; Incorrect pressure adjustment; Air in the system; Pump malfunction. | Replace filters; Adjust pressure screw; Bleed air from the system; Contact support if pump is faulty. |
| Pump runs continuously | Low-pressure switch not working; High-pressure switch not engaging; Leak in the system; Tank not filling. | Inspect pressure switches; Check for leaks; Ensure RO membrane is functioning. |
| Excessive noise or vibration | Loose mounting; Air in pump; Worn components. | Ensure pump is securely mounted; Bleed air; Contact support if noise persists. |
