here is my problem that i have been trying to figure out as i am not a plumber nor a guy that fiddles a lot with tweaking equipment...

i replaced my a few things in my ro unit...

i took out the 24gpd membrane and replaced it with a 75 gpd membrane.

then i installed new cartridges 5 micron carbon, 1 micron sediment and lastly a 0.6 micron carbon.

ro output was noted to be higher than my original membrane...

but now...

there doesnt seem to be enough pressure from the ro unit to push through the two di cartridges that were there originally.

the only time i can get water through the di resin is when i let water collect in the 3g pressurized container that came with the unit and then open up the di section.

any ideas what could be doing all this?

When you replaced the 24 gpd membrane with the 75 gpd membrane did you also install a new matched flow restrictor?
