This is what's on the Vector now, and it's ten years old and still working at the same pressure as when it was installed:

When I worked for a distributor/service company, it's the same one we used on all auto installs and stocked as a standard replacement. They tend to last 20-30 years as long as it's never run dry and isn't trying to lift the water.

In theory yes, but you'll probably spend as much or more for one pump that can run both as you would for two at the proper size.

Are these Stainless or Cast (went back and scrolled down, SS internals, cast housing)? I would assume SS to move RO water for 10 years and still going, but either way I'd spend that to get 10 years from either. Got 2 right now that are tired, thanks for the post.

I'm pretty sure it's cast, but I'll look and post back.

That looks about like what I'm using and it services 2 autos with no problem.

How much RO water does it need? With proper nozzle spacing and position I rinse with 3 flojets and have zero problem. In all honesty, if every thing is right, gravity can help quite a bit.

Six 4006 tips, fourteen 1504 tips, ten 2504 tips in the Vector = a lot more than what three FloJets can deliver.

I saw a D&S 5000 with 16 FloJets supplying it with RO. He said he started with eight and it wasn't near enough. The flow is similar to what the Vector calls for.

WOW...my bad. My old inverted "L" was similar (lots of nozzles). Machine now has 8 wide angle nozzles in an arch. I don't go throught the RO nearly as quick now.
