so the pressure of the booster pump forces the membrane by-pass water back into supply, overcoming the city pressure to a max of 80 psi?

I wouldn't waist the money on it. at 25gpd it is a very small system and by the looks of its set p you couldn't really put a 160 gpd membrane in there as the hot water system can only handle so much waist before it would over pressure and cause problems.

seams to me to be a fake tree hugger effect.. save water, but use more electricity.

anyhow you can always rout the discharge of a normal ro unit to a big container and use it for watering the garden, or making the kids a hockey rink, or taking a bath..
