When the knob is one direction it bypasses the regulator and flushes the membrane. When the knob is the other way the regulator is in effect and you get RO water. The Flush kits are usually like $15.
Thank You Myka I have owned a R/o for over a year and have changed out the Membrane and filters but never heard of Flushing. ( Thankfully flushing didn't mean tying a string around the membrane and pushing the lever a couple times)
