RO/DI producing too quick

[Clink51]

while normally this would be THE BEST thing ever, its worrisome. Its a 4 stage RO/DI. I replaced the filters (Sediment, Carbon and DI resin) but have NOT touched the RO Membrane. I read somewhere that this could be causing the issue, but it cant be as i havent replaced it. I opened up the RO membrane chamber (?) and verified that it was installed correctly. i filled a 5 gallon bucket in about 10 minutes. before it would take roughly 2.5 hours. The other thing i swapped out was the GOOD LINE (Blue line)

Someone help me!

regardless, i fixed it. i have no idea what happened but i took everything apart and put it back together about 3 times. its back to its trickle while before it was a power washer.

Thhank you for being so quick Chefjpaul!

Booster pump. Best thing i bought for my unit.

Saves the di membrane life.

if it's a 60 gpd membrane than 5 gal per 2 hours is right on target. Membrane lifespan is determined by the size of the flow restrictor and water pressure, which, if it puts you in 4 to 1 waste/product ratio or greater, you're good
