so this 8am this morning until i got home from work, the 180g tank has filled 1/2 inch!!
thats 3.5gallons over 11 hours. that cannot be right!

Yes, definitely something not right there. You have excellent water pressure so that unit should be producing as advertised and less than 4 gals in 11 hours is not the mama. I'm not familiar with systems having an adjustable flow restrictor on the waste line. My 75 gpd system has a combination flush valve/flow restrictor that's matched to the 75 gpd membrane. Waste to good water ratio is about 4 to 1 and I have no trouble filling a 7 gallon glass wine carboy in under 3 hours.
Try opening that restrictor on the waste line fully to see how it goes. If that doesn't help, double check the system configuration and proper seating of all your filters, including the membrane.
