It must have been forcing all the water through the membranes.

be careful mate. will Knacker your membrane up all in one go if you hadn't caught it, then cus your tank is filling twice or 3 times as fast (depending on waste ratio) u could end up flooding van too.

If u really need pure u can just connect di vessel direct to tap and run water slowly ... Ok u may get only 1000 litres from a 7kilo vessel but for about a fiver it can save the day
