Can you post a pic of your aquasafe unit set up?
 
So i've been procrastinating.. not unusualy for me :p And I've been offered som help setting this beast up but I figure I can get it done myself without having to trouble anyone :p

What I could use is a picture of one set up.. it came mostly assembled but there is a big plastic canister and some media that I cannot seem to figure out. I really want to get this done this weekend as I just started zeo and I think using conditioned tap water will somewhat defeat the purpose :p

Hey Greg-

I posted an almost identical question a few months ago! Check out the thread....there's a picture at the bottom:

How do you get those quick connects apart without destroying them?

I can't figure out how to change a cartridge without having to buy all new quick connects.

just push the little circle end in (the part that juts out a bit onto the line). then pull out the line. - does that make sense ? -

Brent F 02-26-2008 06:15 PM

Makes sense but I can't seem to get it to work. The claws on the inner piece don't come out of the line. I figure I must be missing something because every one I have tried to take apart breaks.

Remove pressure from the lines before you start, then use your thumbnail to push the outer ring inward, while also pushing the tubing in. Then pull the tubing out while holding the outer ring in.

Again, much harder to do on pressurized lines.

I'll make sure I get rid of the pressure before trying it next time.

Thanks

That picture I think has me even more confused :p

Drew - if your offer of help still stands I may call in the favour when you have time in the next week or two?

What type of unit is it, I just installed a 100 gpd, ro/di unit from aqua safe, but it included the three demin cylinders w/o the pressure cannister, maybe I can help. But the one big mistake I did make was not using a plastic to plastic thread dope, leaks from all threaded joints so had to redo, just a heads up.

digital-audiophile 02-26-2008 07:29 PM

I have the same unit. I bought it over two years ago and never got around to installing it :p

The instructions I find are even more confusing. I think I get the basic idea of what I need to do, I think I'm just afraid of the actual act of piercing water lines and flooding everything.
