I dont recall seeing the one they sell but would guess thats similar. Its just a large mainline prefilter. Mine came from the company that installed my equipment but they are pretty much standard. I purchased filters for around $12 from a wholesale plumbing outfit here and changed them 3 or 4 times/year. I did notice everytime I changed them, the old ones were sure full of crud from the well.

You guys with low pressure why not just adjust the pressure in your pressure system rather than buying a boost pump for your ro system. There should be a pressure switch on top of your pressure tank just increase the cut in/out values. I run mine at about 80 psi. Check your tank and make sure it can handle the pressure and you should be good to go.

That's a really good point, have you noticed any adverse affects on your well pump or other peripherals such as livestock waterers etc.?
