Very little electricity used. But don't know how much exactly.

I have 300 gpd. tds in 480, out 27. Fills a 220l water butt in 10 hours.
With a booster pump. Tds in 480, out 7. Fills 220l water butt in 5 1/2 hours.

So fitting a booster reduces the ppm coming out of the RO. Problem is I don't understand how. I accept that it would fill a tank in less time but how does it reduce the ppm? Would it apply to all systems? ???

I just use an old Shurflo 100psi pump whenever I need some water quickish (like when I forget to turn the RO on) this "booster pump" doubles my pure water output and halves the tds before resin.
Water pressure in normally 50psi (boosted up to 100psi) tds normally 6ppm (boosted 3ppm) and like I said output doubled. /this is from a 200gpd RO
