FWIW, I've never heard of an 85 GPD RO membrane. Dow manufactures most of the RO membranes used in our market. They make 50, 75 and 100 GPD (there's other sizes larger and smaller too), there is no 85.
But, I'd check 3 things first. Your water pressure into the unit, the temperature of the water into your unit and compare how much waste water is being made versus product water over a 1 hour period. Mike

Patience young grasshopper...
100gpd unit making more like 40gpd filled my 300 in a little over a week. It was like "Look honey! there's another inch of water in there since last night!"

My suggestions:
1. get a pump to crank up the pressure. 2. get an adjustable flow restricture to get a 1:3 ratio between the waste and product lines. 3. get a pressure gauge 4. get a flush kit 5. get a 100 gpd membrane. You'll get about 130 gapd out of it

Thanks nathanncnm for putting the right one.
