Hve you flushed your membranes,

i had that problem... it was a little better after flushing.

but as soon as i changed the carbon 10" filters, it was producing water really fast again.

mine is also 300gpd

Mine works fine on freezing nights.

if you are using a lot, change the filters... they are cheap enough and  you will need them at some point.

soon as i changed them , it was fine.

Nooooooooo  not a Merlin at that TDS!!!  Unless you want to spend a fortune on resin. Its most probably that your prefilters need changing.
Also RO's do produce slower with low temperature water going in.

it will be the cloth prefilter, while your at it, change the carbon block aswell

a few quid each


mine slows down a fair bit in the really cold, even though the RO is in he garage and its warmer
