since it worked I'll try it again

The whole thing sorry its backwards stupid iphone.
So the filtered water goes into the cartage (as you look at it) on the left (square box that came with the kent marine shutoff).
Then the water exits on the rightinto the white line that tee into the and continues to the other end of the shutoff and tee into the blue line that becomes my top off water.

A better view of the left hand side.

better view of the right hand side

again the left hand side but more of the water line going in. It tee into a pressure gauge and then into the cartirge.

sorry for not being able to make them better but if you need something to help you see them I can retake them

As I study the picture I had the previous one hooked up that way and no luck either, at least it looked that way without the pressure tank. |I had the most amount of luck when I had the shut off hooked up to the waste line,I had it pulsing but that was it. But if i don't have the water pressure to shutoff the solonide where can I buy just a plain shut off valve like the one pictured?

Well I've continued playing with it. And I hooked up the waste line to the float switch and it still will not shut off. And the pressure gauge reads 52-54 i don't have any leaks that I can find but I hear a sound like air/water rushing past something, and it's an internal type of noise so I think I might have an air issue. Any other things I should look at?

You need to find out what the pressure is after the membrane where the pressure switch is tied into. The gauge reads the pressure before the membrane and therefore isn't relative to what the switch is actually getting. Tie in the pressure gauge temporarily at the same point the switch ties in.

Also is there a flow restrictor and check valve on the waste line?

I think I have the check valve on the waste line but not 100% sure been moving too many fittings lately. I'll move the gauge over as well and see what I have on that line. And I'll post up that info.
Thanks

Here is a flow diagram with a pressure switch and a solenoid.

Because you have some of your plumbing behind and underneath the pic, I cannot figure out where everything is.
Hope the link helps

Ok I check all the fittings and moved the check valve/restrictor to the waste line as well as the pressure gauge to the rodi water. I have 40-42 psi with the float valve held up. I'm starting to think there is something wrone with the ro canister. Even when I hook it up to the waste line it still will not shut off and that one has 50 psi when closed.
I'm starting to think I need to buy a new one that is already set up, and sell this one. I feel that I am running out of time to be playing with this one.
There are only 2 lines that you could not see 1 comes from the filters and heads up and the other leaves the ro and goes down to the di filter and then it's on to the tank.

Looks like you have the ASOV plumbed correctly. Do you have a check valve in the permeate port on the RO housing?
