Default Ro Unit

Is it normal to be getting about 200 times more waste water than good water? i bought the ro unit used and it beleive its a 30gpd unit and am just curious about the waste water amount.

The waste comes out in a powerful stream and the fresh is a drip borderin on a stream.

No, expect a 4:1 ratio.

Assuming it's hooked up correctly, might be in a flush position or the automatic shutoff valve (ASV) stuck open.
