Never been able to get mine working reliably either. I've basically given up & only make water when I'm home to monitor what's going on. I realize that's not a luxury everyone has, but with a little planning, it works for me. Just can't get myself to trust these little ASO valves. They are pretty simple & should work, just a diaphragm in there that is supposed to work on differential pressure. I can't afford a flood in my basement & don't like wasting water, so wouldn't trust it even if it did work... some times.

Actually there are two types, one type is plumbed as shown in the diagram the other is plumbed as shown in the video, the respective in/outs are typically labeled but either way the lines you tap into are the same.

Russ - ill give you guys a call when I'm on my days off.

Mike31154 - if I figur out what's wrong with mine I'll let you know.

There seems to be a couple of different asov I had the one in the shown with 4 ports on it and the one I have set up now is a kent and it has 3. Same idea different layout.

I have yet to fill up my holding tank as then I can't move it. I was hoping to get it up and running for a few weeks before I head out on holidays, and leave it running while I'm gone. Plus I don't want a water fall coming down the steps when I forget that I'm making water. I'd do that the first time I think.

Thanks for all the help and ideas guys keep them coming.
