There should be no flow restrictor between the two membranes. The waste out from the first should go right into the input of the second.

With flow restrictor (see pic)took like 12 hours to get 35 gallons . just now moved restrictor to drain line , seems better , need to test qwe.jpg

You should have one 75GPD (should say 600 or 800) flow restrictor after the second membrane.
