And then this?
So I look today, and APPARENTLY I have installed completely backward. And supposedly my TDS inline meter will arrive today. Last time I had this much fun was a root canal back in late '90s.
And I will try the needle nose pliers Roberta. Plus with Ray's quick connect graphics, I see at the bottom there's some little tool one can use to help with disconnecting. I can get one off Amazon for under $7. Definitely need to look into that. Because now I'll have to take it apart piece by piece and reassemble once I can figure out where I got the RO system from and order new cartridges and a membrane.
More fun to follow later today....   |
You don't have to disassemble everything. You must remove the Flow Restrictor (you do not need tools - press with the nail near the blue tube and with the other hand pull the tube). Put the RO installation somewhere where the water can flow. Turn on the water in the RO entrance. Allow the water to run for 20-30 minutes (to clean the coal dust and so on). Insert the blue tube back into the Flow Restrictor (you must press the tube into the restrictor). If the pipe water comes out with GREEN clamps, it's fine ... The problem is at the RO exit. Here are two problems: 1) Possible Defective Flow Restrictor (ie does not create pressure in the membrane) 2) Exit from the membrane is restricted by the hydraulic cutoff. Here you have to act ...

I forgot something, before you press the nail on the edge of the entrance into the flow restrictor you have to remove that little blue piece that blocks the blue tube.
