What happens when the flow restrictor is not used?
If the flow restrictor is not used then the high-pressure water coming in from the booster pump will flow unrestricted from the reject outlet of the RO membrane. This will result in low pressure inside the RO membrane and higher wastage of water.

Flow restrictor maintains high pressure inside the RO membrane (a precondition for RO purification) by creating back pressure on the membrane and also controls the recovery ratio of the purifier.
Why do GPD and flow restrictor need to be matched?
The RO membrane GPD and flow restrictor capacity must be matched to keep a proper balance between water wastage and purification quality. If they are not matched, this can cause excessive wastage of water or may reduce the life of the RO membrane.
