Only if you have low water pressure. "on all the time" is a
bit of an odd one, unless you were making water "all of the
time".

and are they good enough to plumb

Depends on your definition of "standard".

Given the level of your questions, we can't possibly know
enough about your situation to help you much, or as easily
as your friendly local provider.

Try the yellow pages, under water treatment. Sears, in the
US, used to do water filtration, as I recall. They already
know your local issues and can recommend a suitable system.

You can, then, choose to buy something from them, or take
the info and look elsewhere.

I've had one of there 100gpd units for a few years, Great cus't service, great prices.
I noticed the new ones have a booster pump but you may not need it , my water pressure
is around 45psi right now and it works fine, No they don't run all the time, the residential
units come with a faucet for the sink and a holding tank, when the holding (3gal I think)
tank is full the unit shuts itself off.I also added a tee an a shut off so I could make
water in the basement.

Please be more specific.

Below question are not to offend you but trying to figuring out what you are
trying to say. Please do not get this the wrong way.

When you indicate "These", what does this mean?
What type of problem does it exhibiting?
What type of pump are you referring to? Do you mean a booster pump?
What is the model of the "old one"?
What is "They" are you referring to?

Hi Robin,

Just so you know, here's another unit for you to add to your list of choices.
As you look over the pages, you'll see some things that perhaps will answer
future questions as well.

You can buy a pressure gauge at Home Depot for about $8.00 that will screw
onto a garden hose type faucet. This will tell you if you need a pump. I
think the minimum pressure on my RO unit is 40 psi and the max is 80.

This will tell you if you need a pump.

That is interesting. I would not think of that.
