Good advice. Also a good idea to check your home plumbing for a PRV (pressure reducing valve). These are required by code in most areas with city water pressure to protect the home plumbing from pressure spikes. Should be installed fairly close to your main water shutoff or water meter. I believe the default setting is 50 psi, but this may be adjusted to a higher setting, so there's the potential for improving RO output without the requirement of a booster pump.
