No water coming out of the blue hose on my 4 Stage Value 150GPD Water Saver RO/DI System

Awesome, thanks @Woodyman for helping me out on this I really do appreciate it! All of this is new and making my head spin! I'm going to order a booster, and I'll definitely check back on this thread once it comes with an update!

Your welcome, sounds good!

Here's some extra reading if you want to dive a little deeper while waiting for your booster.

RO/DI Basic Guide

There are always a lot of questions regarding which RO/DI setup do I need, how many stages, how do I know when to change filters/membranes, I’m getting a weird TDS value, etc. Hopefully this clarifies a few things and helps some of you out one day. My first recommendation would be to find the...

@Woodyman Apologies may need some more of your help. Hooked up the booster pump last night but water isn't flowing. I was able to get water flowing by removing tube 1 and connecting that directly into the TDS housing, but by doing this water started to flow out of opening 2 on to the floor. PSI is up to 100, I had to turn the valve down since I was a bit worried about things blowing up in my face. I'm pretty sure things are assembled correctly.

From the looks of it tube 1 is connected to the auto shut off, is that correct?

Can you get a closer photo showing the RO housings and connections? Not to close, but closer than you have here.

Is the tube for your photo with #2 circled in fully, I'd pull out and make sure it's fully inserted since that shouldn't be leaking otherwise.

Everything looks connected correctly, so let's go one connection at time because unless there is a blockage your flow shouldn't be cut off by the ASV.

Disconnect the blue permeate line going into your DI housing.

 

[Imthatguybrandon]

Reconnected and made sure it was secure. I have removed the blue permeate line going into your DI housing.

I'd throw a small section of tube on there and just run it to a bucket so you don't make a mess.

Turn your booster back and see what happens you should get water flowing out of the other side of that ASV now.

No water coming out

No water coming out

Disconnect here.

Also fully close that flush valve

Okay but before I do that I want to confirm this config. Some how after doing this which I feel like is. It right water is coming through my TDS housing and into my bucket.

*feel like this config is wrong **

 

[Woodyman]

It should be setup in this general order, ignore specific filter types, your looking for the general flow through the system.

Awesome, again thank you for all your help!

Awesome, again thank you for all your help!

Did you get it hooked up right then now?

 

[Imthatguybrandon]

Did you get it hooked up right then now?

Yes, based on your diagram it was set up correctly!
