Just remember to hook it back up the right way

Isn't flushing the unit really just bypassing the flow restrictor? So more water can quickly pass over the membrane? I didn't think the water actually got routed differently...just that the waste line had no restriction?

^ Yep.

Don't you guys flush your membrane after every use? I find it's easy to just let it flush for 5 mins after I use it. I'm not sure if it really does anything...some people claim it does, others don't. I haven't noticed anything, but figure "why not?".
