Default how long does an r/o unit take to make clean water?

Had my RO unit running for about 10 mins now...'dirty' hose has lots
of water coming out, nothing through clean yet...
How long should it take?

Also remember to flush and through out the water
first before you use it.

I let it run down the drain for about an hour, prior to putting it
into the tank.

Looks like I'm dumping what's in the tank now anyway once I fill it
with hose water and test the setup...which I'm guessing I shoulda done
in the first place
