RO membranes

If you don't see anything beyond the fitting on the membrane housing, you might just need to replace that with a new, conventional elbow or something. Good luck.

Thanks Mike. I also have a separate flush valve. Thats why I figured it was in there but dont see something that resembles it, unless its inside the valve.

My flow restricter is in the waste water line ( tiny insert) just at the waste output of the membrane

Yes, thats where I thought it was. But be darned if I can find it. Still thinks its part of the flush system.

in the Aquasafe the restrictor is part of the flush valve, make of your unit?

I think it's safe to assume your restrictor is in the flush valve, after all, isn't the purpose of the flush valve to bypass the restrictor? Makes sense that it's integrated. Not sure the restrictors in flush valves are easily replaceable though, you might have to replace the whole flush valve unit with one having the appropriately sized restrictor for your new membrane. Otherwise you could simply remove the entire flush valve when the new restrictor you ordered comes in. You could still flush the system from time to time by reinserting the valve assembly, usually pretty painless with the quick disconnect JG fittings. Or just have the restrictor at the very end of your waste line and pop it off to flush. Or a T-fitting with ball valve before the restrictor, there are a number of solutions, as you can see.

I dont recall the name but sure its on one of my cd,s on the proper connect. I bought it from Prairie Reef Supply in Winnipeg, when he was still in business.

Thats sounds like a great idea, since I already order 2 of the 50 gpd from JL. I think thats exactly what I will do. Thanks you for your assistance. You guys are what makes Canreef the best.
