I've got a 50 gpd RO buddie. When i used it at the kitchen sink, i got very little flow, because if i turned the faucet on too much, the faucet adapter came apart. At first i though it was broke or stripped, and then maybe i thought it was intentional to keep you from forcing too much water through it. Now im using it outside at a hose, and im forcing way more water through it no problem. Im getting about 100 gpd out of it, double the amount it says it should make. My question is, is this bad? Am i damaging the ro membrane, or is the "Clean" water not as clean as it should be?
 
BRS did a video on the subject. They were able to get more RO water through the membrane at higher pressures. A quick youtube search should find it
