Ro/di waste water almost nil

[Phishguy3.0]

hey folks, I need your help. I’m running a coralife pure-flo 50 gpd. I changed the membrane and when I turned on the water I got a stream out of my ro tube. Almost no waste. I’m running cold water thru the system. Here’s s picture of what I think is the flow restrictor. I’m wondering if it could be broken

Is the membrane seated properly and the correct replacement?

Yes I’ve reseated the membrane. I opened up the “flow restrictor” which seemed to be stuck. In doing so I fixed what ever was holding up the flow. I have good flow out of both outputs now but I’m afraid that I have a 5-1 or 6-1 ratio of waste water to ro now.

you can use a ball valve to "fine tune" your ratio, just put it after the flow restrictor and choke it down until your desired ratio.
