This diagram shows you where the low and high pressure lines are located. Put the switches in the proper line. good to go.

Ignore the electronic-shutoff unit name. This is where the high pressure switch goes.

So it looks like the booster pump is connected to the R/O system prior to the prefilters even?

When your water pressure in the mains is low you put a booster pump before the RO. The RO unit needs at least about 50 psi to operate efficiently IMO

Alright, thanks! Figures, I was just wondering if it went or could go after the prefilters but before the membrane. But makes it all easier if its before the prefilters anyways.

One can just forget the auto-shutoff switch and simply unplug the unit when I turn my R/O off, correct?

The only problem with the diagrams is my low pressure switch only has one outlet which i have a feeling is for a tank...Which i don't have so there is no where to put it as water can't make it out the other side..
Grrr i have never been so frustrated in my entire life..

Ok then, the low presure switch will most likely just turn on the pump when the pressure is low enough. Not having an el. diagram for this I am not positive about that, but it is the low pressure switch so it has to go into the low pressure side.
Therefore, put a tee in the low pressure line, with the straight through in line with the tubing. Attach the low pressure switch to the 90 degree part of the T
good to go
