This one works really well with commercial systems:

A tad too technical for me I’m afraid Steve, but I did just recently purchase, from RO man, their booster pump that they build up themselves and it has succeeded in cranking my water pressure up from 30 to 105 psi which has resulted in the supply waters tds reading, after the RO, being reduced from about 300 ppm down to just 1 ppm.

Oh look! There it is in the picture.

4040 membranes work better at a higher pressure, their also increases water production

ditto for the Merlin it without a booster pump TDS after RO was 30 and produced 40 ltrs p/h  with a pump TDS was 18 and production went upto 100 ltrs p/h

my 4040 system with pump produces 7 TDS and between 120 to 140 Ltrs p/h ( not timed it to extact l/ph )
