Typhoon III

Just plugged my typhoon III into my garden hose and I had a question
The tube labeled with "drain" should it have a slow but constant flow of water "draining out" ???

My RO/DI has a pretty steady flow on the drain side. I guess it depends on the source water quality and how much water it has to waste to make the good stuff...

YES...
This is the waste ware from the RO membrane..
Make sure to never block this outlet or it will destroy the RO membrane
