RO question

I know water pressure affects the rate of water production through an RO membrane. Does it also affect water purity? (ie rejection %)?

Yes,the more water going in the more waste water u produce.Usually 2-1. 2g waste 1g good.

So, assuming I've only got 40psi from my home supply, getting a pressure booster should drop the TDS of my RO water?
