In another previous post you mentioned something about finishing a 30 second 'flush'. How is that done? If your system has a manual flush valve, it's possible that your restrictor is incorporated as part of that valve, that's how my system works, restrictor & flush valve in one unit. There should also be a one way check valve somewhere in there, I just don't recall where that's located, somewhere close to the membrane housing IIRC.

I don't know how it works. This unit has a little computer that is programmed to do an autoflush every half hour for 30 secs. I hear it come on and it does a countdown. Mine was a store tester so I think production models are on a different program for time. There is no flow restrictor that I have been able to find.

Ya, sorry, my bad, I posted before watching Albert's video. Looks like your unit has the restrictor pushed into the end of the tubing. Have another look at the vid, it's just a small plastic piece by the looks of it.
