My first time doing this, I replaced my RO filters now water is coming out of waste tube that's located in back of the membrane filter? I purged air from storage tank thinking maybe there was too much but that didn't help. I opened the faucet and a dribble of water came out, the good news is that the storage tank is filling up (takes 4 hours) but wondering if the water will stop flowing from the back of the filter tube into my slop sink.
This is a water factory unit.

From the pic its the red line going into the t connector then orange tube which goes into the slop sink.
There are no leaks or noises but maybe some air pocket?

Update- I installed the old filters and same issue. I wonder if it has been doing this all along. the discharge is low and you can't really see it or hear it, until you lift the hose up and and its just a little but its constant.
I will need to call the water treatment company that installed it, Since it was a pay until you own it which included a service contract that has expired will need to pay a service fee but at this point I have no idea.
In the past I remember that my fridge didn't have lots of pressure from its water dispenser that is also connected to this so they installed a bigger storage tank but it is still very slow to fill a glass up. I have well water and its 40/60 psi but maybe because the RO system is split between a faucet and my Fridge its not enough pressure?

Update: Found this and it sounds like its normal while the tank is filling Sorry for the panic


"Does a RO system constantly drain water?

The system should not constantly drain water. Typically, the draining will occur during the filtration process and stop once the storage tank is full."
