The Grundfos BM 3A-38N (product number 10753638) is a 38-stage high-pressure booster module built for reverse-osmosis and filtration duty, rated 17.6 US gpm at 761.2 ft. The pump element runs inside a pressure sleeve, so the full system pressure is contained by the sleeve rather than the pump housing.
