Can you post a pic of your aquasafe unit set up?

I feel ya. That's why when I got mine I added the faucet tap connector and did't bother with plumbing it directly. Otherwise pretty straight forward and great quality. Now if I could stop flooding my basement everything would be great.

Boy if I could have had a nickle for everytime I've said that!

Greg and Drew - my offer to come over too, still stands. I've rebuilt my RO/DI like 6 times now. I realize the timing of this offer is suboptimal following the flooded basement comment, but they're *totally unrelated* I swear. Somewhat unrelated. Ok, totally related but it's not the only reason I've ever flooded a basement!!! If nothing else I can come over and we can drink some beer and offer comments from the peanut gallery while watching Greg set up his RO/DI.

LOL! Hey, I'm game. Greg, are you providing the beer? I prefer Rickard's White and Sleeman Honey Brown.

Oh, and refer to Catherine's munchies thread for my favourite snacks.

LOL. Just kidding. Maybe.

Sure, let me know what day works for you guys and I'll have the beer cold and the munchies crunchy

Oh and when I asked Aquasafe the exact same questions about removing the tubes. They offered the following. I t helped me so maybe it will help you.

To release the tubing push the ring on the connector that is holding the tubing in toward the connector and pull the tubing out/down( see step 2.4 second sentence) . I have repasted the instructions, all the picture should appear.

Not trying to hijack but I am having the same problems.

Wouldn't the ro/di unit filter out the copper from the copper lines? Most older houses have copper lines. I am concerned as I have the same unit and all I Have is copper lines.

What do you mean by plastic to plastic on the connectors? I can't seem to get my connections to stop leaking. help

Anyone know what to do with or how to use the pressure meter? I asked aquasafe and they told me to store it in my toolbox, ie. that it is useless, but their advertising says it is something you need and other stuff I have read implies the same. Just....there is nowhere to put the thing...

[sharuq1]

What is the point of the "reservoir tank"? I don't see how the water even gets out of there....

Responded on the other thread... the pressure meter isn't useless! It is a great diagnostic/troubleshooting tool. If you ever have a problem with your unit, the pressure meter may be the only way to find out where the problem is (pressure differential between stages). Use plumbers putty/dope on all your threaded connections (and use more than you think you need). Don't use teflon tape, it doesn't work very well at all on plastic connections. The John Guest (push-fit) connections are leaking, then it is likely that either the lines are deformed at entry (from cutting), or you're not pushing them in far enough. Once the line is fully inserted, you also need to pull it back a bit to lock and seal it properly. These connectors shouldn't be leaking if you're using them correctly.
