  • Kinetico Deluxe VX Plus

    Having a problem with a Kinetico VX RO with black quick flow tank installed downstairs.
    When the geothermal furnace kicks in it draws enough water to drop the water pressure in the home to the point where the water flow to the RO faucet drops considerably. I understand this is due to the household water pressure providing the pressure for the RO water. Water flow is fine when the geothermal isn't running.
    What is the best way to increase the RO faucet pressure?
    Thinking about installing a booster pump to the system to increase incoming pressure but unsure of where the pressure switch connection would go with the quick flow tank.
    Also considering a delivery pump but unsure of how drawing the water out of the storage tank faster would affect the storage tank itself, do not want to damage the modulator.
    Would be willing to replace the quick flow tank with a regular water over air tank so that the household pressure would not affect the RO faucet with the possibility of a delivery pump if that is not enough but unsure of how to modify the many lines to accomplish this.
    Any ideas?

    I would just add a standard tank on. It'll give extra storage and provide its own pressure during the low pressure situations you described. It's the cheapest fix. The "right" way to fix things would be to have a repressurizing system in the house. If the pressure drops that low I would assume that things like showers and whatnot are also affected? No?

      How does one change all the hoses on the RO to switch to a standard tank?
