What do the directions say? Do they say you have to rinse it? I don't have that unit but if you give me the model I could look it up for you.

I have the same unit and no you dont have to rinse it. But you do have to rinse the carbon cartridge.
Hook it up and let it run til you run til you get about 10 gallons out of it, throw that out and check your tds. at this point it should be zero.
when you shut off the unit you leave the membrane in , unless you are not going to use it for 30 days or more.
Read over the instructions really well, it tells you how to care for the membrane...

when i rinse the carbon should i take it out of the unit and rinse it in the sink. or just hook this whole thing up and let it run and that will take care of the carbon and membrain getting rinsed?

rinse the carbon cartridge in the sink before operating the unit
the membrane does not need to be rinsed
