A gallon or two should be enough to flush out the preservatives.

Is it possible for you to monitor the TDS of the water coming from the RO? I monitor mine and wait until the TDS stabilizes before I start collecting product.

I'd go with 5-10 to be safe, as it'll flush out the entire system.

I was told by BRS to flush a new membrane for 1 hour
