I am installing new granite countertop, what size hole should they make for the faucet of this product?
If you're drilling a new hole, the perfect size is 1/2 inch, however you can also cover any existing hole up to 2 inches if you have any unused soap dispenser or something else you can use.
Can the booster pump be attached separately?
This Reverse Osmosis filter system may still work when source water pressure is as low as 35 psi, but it won't be efficient especially water temperature drops below 60F.
