    I have 49psi going into my membrane after the pre filters. Both the 5 micron and carbon block are brand new. Should I add a booster pump?

    Yes you need at least 60PSI to make the Membrane work efficiently. It will still filter, but just not give you the rated GPM.

    I have come to the conclusion that they are well worth the $120 dollars BRS has a very nice one
