Have you put the membranes and the pre filter in the correct place ?

Have you taken the wrapping off the membranes ?

are the rubber seals on the ends of the membranes ?

Water will come out of black tube, thats the waste, and it should be coming out of that one much more than the blue tube, which is the pure

Mine is Blue  (pure water) at the bottom
Black next one up (WASTE) then
Clear (water in)
Then a blocked off button. If yours are in a different order that might be your problem

you should be getting water from both pipes  as stated by mike

when new they do need running for a couple of hours to bed in but we need to know where
all the waste is going  ???
