Sounds very slow, it takes me 30 seconds to produce 1 litre of water at 0.11ppm

the tap on the waste is stuck open. maybe.

I agree, check your flush valve.  Either that or your waste restrictor could have broken and is allowing too much waste out.  Another cause could be your membranes have become clogged and blocked up.

change your membranes mate .

[andrew.ralph@homec]

the flush valve is 90 degrees to the tube

That's right then.  When you say you've cleaned the membranes out, do you mean you've cleaned the housings out or have you flushed the membranes?

[andrew.ralph@homec]

hi alex just cleaned houseings out

[Alex Gardiner]

I would say your membranes needed replacing then (like daveshaw said).

[andrew.ralph@homec]

if they have had it will this effect the amount of waist water im getting

[Alex Gardiner]

Yes, because the membrane surface will become blocked and clogged which will allow less water through (although it will still be fairly clean) which will have the effect of increasing the waste.

a couple of questions , its obvious you run a static system so ,,,,,,,, 1 where do you keep your ro (im not a thief ) 2 last week when temps dropped did you in anyway look after your ro .            as the weather gets colder you ro will produce less

[andrew.ralph@homec]

we had the same problem 40/40 ro not making alot of water with loads of waste you need more pressure put a booster pump on it and then the flow valve turn to just over half way should make more water have you got a booster pump on it you need about 100psi going in hope that helped.
