Ive got a hf4 running @ 80psi, (18-22c room temp) with booster pump = 220l per hour. By all accounts a hf4 works better with a booster and a hf5 without one (just norm tap pressure), however, u can still run a hf5 with a booster which will make water quicker, BUT its a trade off between that and a higher tds = more resin costs. So i would check your tap pressure first, then make a call on it mate. For more tech info you would be better giving gaps water a call they are good with this stuff. good luck m.
