my RO is rated at 25 gph and there is a red line at 2.0 gpm on the seawater flow gauge which would be 120 gph or a ration of 4.8:1 or about five times what goes into the tank. so that pretty much is in the same area as Gene's RO.

It would seem to me that the ratio would just be a function of how it works, not something you set. However, I could learn something here. I can tell you that my powersurvivor 35 lit. says it discharges 8 times what goes into the tank, and observation says that is pretty close.
