Ok...sorry I am all over the place here.
I will just re-write the questions I am still looking for answers for:
1. Are the greenish beads I have with the unit (on the very top) the water polisher that I need to leave out? I am pretty sure thats what they are but not 100% sure. I think after that last stage (RO membrane) the line should just go to the drain and to the clean water...
2. Can I use the vampire fitting that came with the unit for the drain water? It came with the unit to be used for the supply but I didn't need it for that. I don't see why it couldn't be used on the drain but figured I should ask.
3. Where the waste water leaves the last stage, there is a little valve of some kind...is this to adjust how much water is going out? I think its suppose to be 4:1 right? Does this just stay all the way open?
4. My last unit had the prefilter stage and then two carbons before the RO membrane on top. This one only has one carbon in the middle and some kind of paper towel looking thing. What is this? SHould I switch it to carbon?
5. Since this is very cold water going through the unit and thats not ideal, do I need to lessen the flow through the unit? What are the long term effects with using such cold water? Any tips?
And again, thanks everyone. I would be sooooo lost without this place!
