The sludge pre and post flushing for me was quite different.

If you got nothing, maybe you did it wrong. My membrane is only 6 months old, and I back flush every other week. I got mud out of mine!

I might make a lot more water than you though, so who knows

I pulled the pre and carbon filters and put the canisters back in place
I also pulled the blackwater hose from the drain and put it in a bucket
I opened the water valve and then the flush valve. Lots of air came out and clean water followed. After a couple litres I closed the flush valve and clean water came out the RO end for another couple litres

Did I miss something ?

My membrane is 10 months old vs your's at 6 months
Maybe my input water is cleaner than your's ?

Oh, and I only make about 50g/week - which translates to over 1000g/month with washing hardware and such. Good thing I don't currently pay for water on a meter

I dunno, that sounds right.

Sounds like bedtime to me
