RO booster pump?

[RidgeWood]

At what water pressure level do I need to add a booster pump?


Read online that increasing the pressure to 75 -85 psi drops the TDS resulting in less use of DI resin.


Any opinions

Can?t speak for the TDS and use of DI but my pressure was around 35 psi so decided to get the booster pump. Pressure is now about 80psi and much better and faster performance of the ro/di.

IMO, you should add a booster pump if your pressure is under 50 psi.

Remember its the membrane that needs the pressure to process the water.

Event at 50 PSI once the water goes through sediment and carbon block it will quickly drop pressure.

I agree with the statement that booster pump is needed with pressure any lower than 50-55 at tap.
