That's quite a nice boost. I'd be happy to get to 60 psi range. Not sure if vertex one will cut it.. Looks like I could order Aquatec one from amazon though.

are you running from a faucet to the rodi? this might explain your low pressure

Yes I am. Thing is my kitchen faucet is around 30-35 psi but the faucet in my laundry room is extremely low...

I could not find that exact model in stock (same one BRS sells in their kit) except through a place back east. Their delivery and CS was awful though, so if you can find it through something like amazon I'd definitely go that route. Any waterworks supplier should be able to order in.

Not sure what the OEM is for the Vertex, but I know Aquatec has been around forever and pumps / flow control is all they do, so that factored into my decision.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience.
