Good Morning All.
I have an RO system that is under my kitchen sink that I bought from amazon, and I added the DI later on.
This thing has a 2 gal storage tank on it and when I make RODI water it takes like 30-45 min just to fill a 5 gal bucket. I would like to know is it possible to add a booster pump to the system and, possibly get rid of the tank? If I can't lose the tank, is there a way to hook up the pump without blowing the tank up?

What is your current water pressure?

5 gallons in 45 minutes is a good production rate.

The booster goes on the input. You just need to install it inline.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
