Finally got an RODI unit set up. Since I've committed to a small tank for the foreseeable future, I picked up an AWI Mighty Mite... Only 50GPD but should work for now. The mentioned waste:product (I think) was 4:1...But I'm getting almost 1:1. There's a flow restrictor that controls the waste output line and I have that so there's a slow but steady stream coming out, just enough to keep it continuous. This produces a slow but steady stream of about the same amount flowing from the product line. Water faucet is barely turned on but I'm getting 0 TDS in the product water... Is this as good as it seems or am I wearing out the membrane, bypassing something etc??? Unit is this one.

TDS goes from 95--> 0 at about a gallon an hour.

Tap - 95
Product - 0
Waste - 155
..Seems like it's working properly?

Thanks for the help :)

Thanks for confirming. Was cautiously optimistic about the product:waste and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break a membrane or skip part of the filter or something.
