If you let us know exactly which system you use it would be easier to give you an answer, or even better a pic.
Normally the valve would be turned in the direction which creates higher waste water (i.e. drain), as the system is flushing the membranes out, therefore producing no or almost no product water.
Turning the valve in the direction of flow should constitute more product water, drain less.
Hope this helps. Terry

In the flush Position it says water flow direction, this can be confusing, if your ever unsure just check the flow rate of your waste, if you have it set to flush the waste will be much higher.
