So the inline restrictor must be needed then. I wonder if it matters which end of the waste line its in. Inst. said on the drain pipe end but I think we have it on the membrane outlet end. Cant see it being directional just a restriction?

Geez, all the others I have put in are simple to use.
Looks like your purge valve has a different function than my flush valve, seems yours will run tap water downstream to your membrane (I'm assuming no DI). What the flush valve does is in the closed position provides a fixed restriction on the waste line, in the open position there's no restriction and water just flows past the membrane to clear it. Thought the fixed valve gives close to 4:1 with the variable valve I can get the ration to 1:1 though at the cost to the life of the membrane.

For the ro, mine has 1 input and 2 outlets (filtered and waste), the resistor is on the waste line (diagram)
