    If I had to guess I would say your flow restrictor could be clogged or need replaced. To unclog it you may need to run flow backwards through it. I ran into this little problem myself. :)

    Flow restrictor is in the waste line so if it were clogged you would get no waste. Could be either your flow restrictor is missing or you got your two outlet tubes on the RO membrane switched around.
    Do you have a membrane flush valve?...if you do make sure it is closed.

    Yeah you are right. I miss remembered. I was getting no waste and burning through DI resin. Sorry about that. @Waterrat41@Waterrat41 seems to be on the right path!
