One viewer said you must insert 9-volt battery &amp; connect plug to electrical outlet. I need both battery &amp; house power?

The switch runs off of battery, the outlet is powered by the outlet you plug it into

Both. There are some product requirements as follows: Available 120V AC Outlet (U.S. Standard AC), 1.9 Volt battery.

The battery is a backup in case of power interruption. From a practical viewpoint you need a low voltage power supply.

The electrical connection must be made at the outside unit. it will feed the electricity to the inside. The connection at the outside unit should have a disconnect so that you can cut power to the unit

You need a second circuit board to connect your AUX power to the house. Only put appropriate circuits on that board. Note: this is an additional expense that an electrician should install.

If you buy the unit I reviewed, then yes you will need an outlet, because it has a booster pump, that is the part that requires electrical power. I believe they may have a version of this same unit that doesn't have the booster pump. Those units don't need power.For any of those out there that don't know, RO systems with booster pumps work so much better than units that don't.

Im not the seller, just a buyer. Ask the seller, I returned mine, you need a commercial grade electrical outlet because it pulls too much power when both units are plugged in.

it is battery operated only but I have seen adaptors which can plug into the 9 volt battery plugs. that would mean you can only use it in or very near your home.

You'll need apower inserter & a 8-way switch asdepicted here if it works. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTA0WDk5OA==/z/niwAAMXQm7FR6qzq/$T2eC16J,!yUE9s6NEGyfBR6qzqT-Kw~~60_57.JPG

It installs very easily: you push the accompanying 9-volt battery into the proper terminals in back of the unit, close the plastic door, and plug the unit into a 120-volt AC outlet. Read the directions to make sure the outlet is in a place where the unit can be effective.

no you need to buy an ac/dc converterif you`re going to use it in the house..

If I recall correctly from when I installed the unit, it should be a 9v battery.

Yes, it does require an outlet. In fact, our power cord is missing - we assume the housecleaner put it away somewhere (she doesn't work for us anymore, unsurprisingly). I'm going to have to call the manufacturer to get a replacement.

If you don't have a power outlet, Yes.. You would need to run an extension cord... however, by calling a licensed electrician, install an outlet, it would be ideal... that's what I did... cost me $50. bucks...

It needs both, you can run it for a short time on just batteries but some features will be missing. The batteries are needed to maintain operation when power fails. You should always have AC power and batteries.
