[RE-wrenches] TIny House Pump (Dan Fink)

[Jeff Clearwater]

Hi Windy and all

Great to see you chime in here Windy -it's been many years!

I have a customer off grid in the Caribbean with a 230V 50 hz Radian. Is there any equivalent to the Flowlight Booster Pump for 50hz?  Any Positive Displacement pressurizing pumps for 50hz?  

Thanks!

It will damp the pulsations very effectively. Pump will last longer, and there won’t be noise through the pipes.  I use flex on the intake too, to make installation and service easy. No need to make it long for damping.
