Turn the flush on....pressure drop...turn the flush off and pressure back up or no? Can you clarify?

Yep. If I turn the flush on for 15 minutes the pressure doesn't go up at all, 30 psi is all I get with the flush going. Isn't that typical? That's what I have always seen in residential applications.

Yes that is normal. Turning the flush on releases the back pressure on the membrane.
