In any case, if you have that much pressure & no output from either waste or product line, sounds to me like something's plugged up downstream of the membrane?

Not familiar with your brand of unit, but in many cases the flow restrictor is built into the outlet fitting on the membrane housing. On my system it's part of a manual flush valve plumbed in downstream of the RO membrane.

These units have a booster pump mine runs 130 ISh, also have auto back flush and a few other features, all in all about 3 or 4 solenoids on top of a normal unit.
