Aqua FX RO Unit trouble
 

So im in the process of setting up my new tank, and went to start making the water.
hooked my ro unit up to a tap, and noticed a change in the waste/filtered water ratio. Extreme change.
About 20 gallons of waster water in a bout 6 minutes with less than an inch of filtered water.
I noticed the psi was a bit down, around 45. the unit says it needs 35 to function properly.

I replaced all filters and membranes, could this be the problem.? i mean i gave it time to break in (over 30 gallons.)

I contacted Aqua FX, but i assume no one will be in till monday.

Any suggestions.

what is your GPD rate? 20 gallons of waste water in 6 minutes are lots . How do you get the water come out of those 1/4" tube that fast? I have mine run on 60 PSI

its a 50 gpd unit,
i have the tap turned full and all i get is around 45psi.

i didnt think that much water could come out to, but its pretty intense. when i first turned it on the waste line came flying out of the drain and shot water clear across the basement.

Did you install the flow restrictor correctly?

??
what would that look like.

something like this
