    Mark, the 15% increase in 'clean filter' pressure suggests a problem with the membranes.

    Also, on most filters, the pressure gauge is installed downstream of the multiport, and measures only 'back-pressure' from the filter itself + any gear down stream of that. He's starting off with ~60 of head, and going up from there.
