Aquasafe Question

Okay - so I just swapped out all my old, dirty prefilters for nice, new pretty ones.

Hooked it back up.

Put on the water..... and about 3 hours after that, it's not flowing. Should I have filled the pre filter areas with water, is there some magic trick I'm missing? Everything seems as though it's proper, it's no different than it was the other day - but I'm very confused. I know I lack in details what I don't make up for in pictures, but if anyone has any basics for me?

Tanks.

You need to start taking it apart starting at the front to see where the water stops flowing.
Take part 1 off, turn water on, if you get water, put part 1 back in place and move to part 2.

Except for the filters the only thing that should slow it down is the membrane. How old is it.
And if your water is really cold that will slow it down as well.

Is there a flow direction on the filters? Could you have them in backwards?

I checked that, sigh. It's the membrane, it's fried. NOt sure why it would stop all of a sudden, but the flow is magnifique, until I hook it up to run through RO. Then it drills down to a drip.

Anyone want to spare a homeboy one of their RO membranes??
