Ted,
Very good question and there are a lot of factors. How much pressure do your
misters need? How long is the run to the first mister? What size pipe? How
many misters? How many GPH do all the misters combined need? Pumps should
have a GPH and max pressure rating. Many RO manufacturers make pumps for
their systems using a non-presurized storage container; see if these meet
your specs. Visit http://www.premierh2o.com/ for one example. You can also
visit your local hydroponics dealer.
FYI, the system I'm working on (not installed, mind you) will run the RO
wastewater to a container in my garden where I will use a booster pump to
water my roses. The RO water goes to my humidifier and misting system (via
an ice maker hookup kit) and also to the storage tank.
