Booster pump

Anyone have a booster pump for a 1/4" RO/DI bra system. The new home I just moved in to only has 20PSI and I can't make water like that lol.
I'm looking to buy ASAP. If I don't hear from anyone in the next 48 hours I guess I'll have to buy one for BRS.
Thanks for reading.

Yeah super low. I actually haven't activated the water on this home just yet but I don't think that it would make a difference. Water pressure throughout the house is pretty crappy.

I believe there's a minimum psi for the booster pumps to work properly, you may also want to check if the pipes have build up in them, reason why the psi would be low. Very common on old water lines, galvanized mostly but copper pipes tend to have build up too.
Couple years ago I installed a new washer, was supposed to be an easy connect the hoses and done, turned water on, both cold and hot; not a single drop of water. So to open wall and found the culprit, hard water deposits in the copper pipes had plugged both lines.
 
I went around and tightened a few things on the nozzles and I'm not getting 30psi now. A little better but not efficient for the RO/DI system.

An Aquatec 8800 works with membranes up to 150 gpd.

At 30 psi, I'd check:
that the valve out at the street is all the way open, and
adjust your pressure regulating valve, if you have one.
