The correct flow for your heater will be spec'd in the manual, often around 5m3/h. Is your heater plumbed on a bypass loop so you can adjust it?
You should get a flow meter to check the best flow to turn over your water. Gage & Bidwell's law of dilution gives us some expectations on how much water actually makes it through the filter. 1st turnover 63%, 2nd 86%, 3rd 95%, 4th 98%, 5th 99% of the water filtered. There are alternatives but they are all pretty close to one another. Personally I am happy with 4 turnovers per day and that fits nicely with the energy usage.
