Default Vertex rodi issue.

Changed filters last week turned on to make water and have low booster pressure and low water production.. So I then put in new membrane. Made sure multiple times that there was no trapped air. Still low pressure and minimal water produced

Any ideas?

I don't know much about the booster pump systems.
I'd be inclined to replace again one of the just replaced filters - maybe you got a faulty one.

Have you disconnected any hoses or electrical wires?
Just in case, I found this link, that you can compare to:

Sounds like the booster is fried , does it turn on can you feel it vibrate when it kicks in?

Agreed 60psi is what you should get without the booster
