Default Vertex puratek

So I bought the 100gpd model used and replaced all the filters.
Now the numbers are coming out at 0 ppm
But the water coming out is painfully slow. Maybe 10:1
Waste to good. What is the problem?

Do you have good house pressure? (should be around 40psi)
Perhaps the booster pump is kaput. It need about 40psi inlet to boost properly.

The drain line has good flow. And the good water is dripping out.
Any other ideas?

There should be a flow restrictor in the waste water line the vertex one is a small clear plastic piece that fits inside the 1/4 inch water line and its easily lost. With out it you will have tons of flow out the drain line. Only other issue I had was bad to membrane but I issume u changed yours .
