Hey is there another way to increase the pressure into the ro membrane.

So i though off kinking the waste water line to created a back pressure, just like the pressure created by the flow restrictor that come with the unit?

Yes, it a good idea?
Or
hell no, not a good idea.?

ALSO THE LINE IS NOT KINK TO WERE THERE NO WATER COMING OUT, THERE IS WATER COMING OUT OF THE WASTE LINE, JUST NOT AS FAST

You need to get a booster pump to increase pressure into the system. What is your current pressure???

Kinking the line will do nothing for you. It is not creating backpressure to force more water through the membrane, you will just slow down the entire system. You need to increase pressure into the system

I try it and the water out of the blue line is coming out at a faster rate dam before but I did not link the waste line to were there no water, it a half flow for it,

But that my point the booster pump pumps the water to were the flow valve in the waste line reaches a psi that work with the membrane right, if you have the valve that clean the membrane open with the booster pump, there will be no water passing through the membrane, right.

Will the pump it hook up it the main feed line to your filters which bills pressure feed the water to membrane which in turn give you more clean water and less wastewater ..

That another thing you can't hook it up like that, you have to hook it you like this. Sediment,.5 micron, 6 Micron, pump to RO.( by manufactured in other to keep warranty that how you need to hook it up) so it back to the flow restriction in the ro unit.
