It basically would allow you to by-pass the flow restrictor valve. it is located right after the RO unit. It looks like this

basically you want to create a by-pass with the valve on the side where the tubes without the flow restrictor is. So when the valve is opened the water would flow fast through the RO unit

You have to find the flow restrictor like Jason says. so the flush valve would go between the restrictor and the membrane.
I take it that the red line goes to drain. So after the membrane, you will find the restrictor.
Sometimes it is just pushed into the red line at the connector to the membrane.
Here is a diagram but you will have to join to see it.
