RO Filter Has Water in It...

I just got it today and used it, but then after I was through I realized there was no way to get the water inside of it out. I heard of flush valves, but apparently they don't do much towards extending the life of the membranes. Is the water sitting in there ok until I use it again?

It's fine. you want water in there to keep everything from drying out. If you use it at least once a month you should be ok. You should use straight RO water for top offs, so you'll be using it frequently i'd bet.

Oh, good. The chambers drained a little after I finished, maybe 3/4 of the way full now, is that good enough?
You want to keep everything at least moist. 3/4 full would fill that requirement!
