An RODI is the last major purchase for the tanks that Im setting up (yea I know shhh I had to tell my wife something). Water pressure where I am is low so Im going to need something to increase it. Im probably going to settle with one of the brs 150gpd 6 stage rodi's. I was looking at the boosters they have and some of them say other parts are needed. Id like to get this order in while the sales are still going on. Can someone please explain what additional equipment I need to get to increase pressure?

I have a 150GPD BRS RODI 7 stage unit. I didn't purchase the booster pump through BRS as I had Amazon gift cards to burn. I purchased the kit below, which was incredibly easy to install. You splice the input line from the faucet, insert the tube from the faucet to the input of the pump, then take the inlet tube attached to the RODI unit and insert into the output of the pump. You then splice the output line from the end of your DI and insert into the shut off valve.

I have one of these. Super useful and makes the RODI process super easy since it also handles running the RODI for 30 seconds to flush out the membrane each time to extend consumable life:

+1. I have this unit. It was a game changer.
