Does it need a separate raw water boost/feed pump?

Thanks for the bump.

A boost pump isn’t needed with this watermaker. It’s one of the ways the design keeps amperage draw reasonably low. There are references to this in the linked manual that does a better job of explaining the +/- of not having feed pump.
