Abstract
A flow restrictor that is intended primarily for use in a reverse osmosis water purification system of the type having a reverse osmosis membrane housing receiving feed water to be purified and generating purified water at a first outlet and waste water at a second outlet. The flow restrictor of the invention comprises a selected length of elongated, doubly-extruded tubing having an inner, low-friction tube and an outer, higher-friction tube. The outer tube is coaxial with the inner tube and has an inner surface which is substantially contiguous with the outer surface of the inner tube. The diameter of the inner tube and the length of the tubing are selected for precisely limiting flow of water therethrough.
