Description
IceCap Reverse Osmosis Booster Pump Kit — (IC-ROBPK)
The IceCap Reverse Osmosis Booster Pump Kit (SKU: IC-ROBPK) is an authentic, performance-maximizing filtration accessory distributed by CoralVue to optimize pure water production for demanding saltwater reef displays and freshwater aquascapes. Thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membranes rely fundamentally on physical water pressure to force pure molecules through micro-pores while pushing dissolved solids out the waste line. When residential tap lines deliver sub-optimal pressure (frequently dipping below 40 PSI due to well water setups or high-altitude piping), the RO system stalls. This results in slow water production, excess waste water, and high total dissolved solids (TDS) leaching into your final deionization filter. The IceCap IC-ROBPK resolves these issues by artificially boosting local pressure up to ideal operational thresholds.
At the core of this all-in-one kit is a heavy-duty, whisper-quiet 24V Performance Booster Motor managed by an automated dual-switch safety network. The system features a built-in Low-Pressure Switch that monitors supply lines coming from your sediment filters, ensuring the pump safely turns off if your tap water source is disconnected. On the opposite side of the filtration arc, an integrated High-Pressure Switch monitors the output line. When your reservoir tank fills and triggers a float valve, the high-pressure switch immediately senses the line restriction and kills power to the pump to prevent leaks or line bursts. Compatible with IceCap models (IC-RI75, IC-RI100, IC-RI150, IC-RI200) and standard 1/4-inch push-fit lines, this enhancement kit turns any standard water filter into a high-speed production system.
Key Features
Accelerates Water Production Speeds: Yields pure RO/DI water in a fraction of the time, keeping your emergency reservoir tanks full and ready.
Reduces Long-Term DI Resin Operating Costs: Higher operational pressure allows the RO membrane to remove a larger percentage of contaminants, sparing your DI resin from premature exhaustion.
Low Vibration Sine Drive Assembly: Insulated motor feet absorb mechanical vibrations, preventing annoying humming or rattling against wall brackets.
(Note: This retail kit comes complete with (1) 24V Booster Pump, (1) Automated Low-Pressure Switch, (1) Automated High-Pressure Switch, (1) 24V/2A Power Supply with integrated wire harness, and 3 feet of 1/4-inch polyethylene tubing).
