    Continuously like 24/7? These units do run a good bit of water down the drain when they are recharging, could be for up to an hour but more than that I'd guess you have a stuck valve. How old is this unit and how long ago did this problem pop up? I too have only installed 2 of these RO systems and was surprised when it ran for so long.
