Title: Can the Kit be used with Reverse Osmosis system
Post by: bob432 on April 05, 2016, 08:32:30 AM

I have an under the counter reverse osmosis system for drinking water. Can I used the Kit or do I need a bigger tank because of the drawdown. I'm guessing the RO system will cause the pump to cycle often. Thanks. I am just about to buy a kit, but have reservations.

Hi Bob
The Pside-Kick kit can be used to control your well pump that is feeding the RO system.  You won't use enough RO water with and under the sink unit to cause the well pump to cycle too much with the kit.  You don't need a larger tank.

But the RO systems should have its own tank.  It will store a gallon or three of RO water in that tank for your use.  It will dump more waste water than it makes clean water, but that won't hurt the well pump with the Pside-Kick kit.
