It depends on the RO membrane. How many gpd does it produce? If you have a 100 gpd unit, then that equates to about 4 gals per hour,

if what is labeled 'drinking water under kitchen sink' is a reservoir (and it's full) would expect when the float valve first comes on, would get a stream. Once the reservoir is empty them it's back to the gph rating of the membrane. Mine more a steady trickle which I feel is normal specially considering the roll off with temperature and pressure (see here).

you should get dripping, and no water in the drinking res. untill the float valve is closed. Once the pail is ful, the valve closed, then the RO will start to fill the drinking res. Good news is tho, if you only take 2 gal out of the fish res, the drinking res will fill it up fast, then RO will fill the drinking res again
