Thanks, It looks like I'll give the new membrane a shot and see what
happens.

I have a GE under counter RO system that I can't seem to get more than
a cup of water out of per day. (This is after a year of regular use
and regular filter changes). After taking the unit apart I found that
the water fills up in the first filter cup and goes into the membrane
but doesn't pass through to fill up the 2nd filter cup. I assumed my
membrane was clogged but I don't know how to tell. I've read postings
that say under the counter RO membranes should never clog.

RO membranes usually last about a year before clogging reduces efficiency.
Less time if no Water Softener in line before RO.

I took the membrane out and tried it and of course the water went
right through. Before I spend $70 on a new membrane I'm trying to
determine if that is the problem. Do you know a way I could test the
membrane ? There does seem to be some rust buildup in it but nothing
major.

I also noticed that my little storage tank had very little air
pressure. Should I be putting it back up to the 100PSI that is shows
on the side of the tank ?

100PSI refers to how much air or water pressure could safetly be in tank
before it ruptures, not working pressure. In use it would never be more
than your household water pressure and probably a little less than that.

Thanks for any help you can provide me.
