There should be a little horseshoe type clip,pull it out and disconnect the tube and push it back in and put the horseshoe clip back on.

Yes there is  a blue clip Slash, does the hose just pull out of the pipe when clip is removed?

Take clip out. Where the pipe is pushed in, you need to push that ring hilding the pipe into the unit whikst you pull the pipe out if that makes sense

Yes sorry,forgot to mention to push the ring in with your nails or easy removal  ;D
It depends on your water pressure and what R0 unit but the waste is normally more than the pure.

Its been flushing for 30 minutes now and it's  110 at the tap and 005 at the waste pipe...impressive.

Think you might have plumbed it up backwards

The flow is about normal sadly.  A booster pump should help with that tho
