I'm including pictures for you guys to check my work. I've tried two different flush valves 800 and 550 (I know 550 is not ideal). Neither are doing anything for the flow. I'm getting higher pressure out of my clean line and low out of my black, but it seems excessively high.

Malamute not included :p

The line with the valve is connected to the wastewater line but I see what you mean. The valve doesn't register anything when I turn it.

I would remove it (maybe it is broken/closed) The line needs to be flowing for the RO to work
