I have a 1 group commercial machine which Im about to over haul. At the moment the procon pump is happy drawing from a bottle. What I want to do is fit an inline filter in between the bottle and the rotary pump.
What I was thinking that a flojet pump would do the job of providing a simulated mains water pressure to the inline water filter, which the rotary pump will draw from. Is my thinking flawed?
machine ------ pump ------ water filtration unit ------- flojet ------ bottle
the reason why I want to do this is because I just want to fill the water bottle up with tap water.
These flojet pumps are quite pricey. Are there any other pump do the same job? I know a similar set up was used for the Barista Championships this year. I may just ask John from Coffee Machine Technologies how he did it.....but would appreciate some feedback.
Cheers,
Dave

Positive displacement pumps such as sliding vane or impulse piston pums only pump fluid and are limited by atmospheric pressure.
