Its true though, you should be getting at least half that...

My 4040 membrane was taking the TDS down from 220ppm to 1ppm when new its just over six years old now
and still gets it down to about 15ppm.
I would say you don't have enough water pressure.

That was just with tap pressure, didn't bother putting on the booster pump, but I think it is time to renew it anyway, had it 4 years.

How long does it take to fill a litre jug of permeate water?

What is your waste ratio?

What is the pressure going through the membrane?
