Default R/O memrane Q

Would there be an issue if I was to put a 75Gpd membrane in a 50gpd system without changing the flow restrictor? Would the water quality go down?

Thanks

you would lower the amount of flush water and "Could" shorten the life of the membrane. just order a new flow restrictor for the couple bucks they are. or spend a bit more and put a needle valve on the discharge and dial it in your self.
