I had a similar problem and determined it was a batch of mislabeled 5 micron filters that ended being 1 microns. I just took one filter out at a time until my outlet pressure jumped back up. If you end up with all your filters out and still no flow I would start bypassing components. You may have introduced a bit of plastic from one of the wrappers that is stuck in a line.

Hmm...good suggestions. I have taken out the prefilter and tried already...no improvement. I also took out the first carbon block...but the prefilter was back in while I tried that. No improvement either. Never thought about plastic in a line as I did try to check to see if there was a build up anywhere, but nothing.
My water to start with is about 125-135 TDS
