![]() Assuming that your red arrows on the housing lids indicate which one says "in" and which one says "out":
First (left most) housing should contain a sediment filter Middle housing should be another sediment or a carbon block Third housing (right most) should be empty or have a carbon block Tap water comes in to 2 and comes out 8. Connect 8 to 3 on the RO membrane housing. Connect 7 on the RO membrane housing to 4 on the DI housing Rotate the DI housing so 9 is at "12 o'clock" position rather than "4 o'clock." Water coming out of 9 will be your final DI water for use in your tank. Remove the top, white "taste and odor filter" from your system. It does more harm than good in this position. Connect 6 to the un-numbered port on the black-handled flow restrictor. Connect 1 on the flow restrictor to a drain. Russ Last edited by Buckeye Field Supply; 11-24-2011 at 07:06 AM. |

![]() Here you go Russ. Thanks for all the help! He offered me to call him for a step by step guide.
Correct, the red arrows indicate IN and OUT From left to right: Sediments 5 Micron, GAC, CCB 1 Micron ![]() Last edited by -=James=-; 11-24-2011 at 07:20 AM. |

![]() Yeow. Someone sold you a less than ideal set of prefiltes. Assuming you are on city water w/o chloramies, a good combo is a 1 micron sediment filter and a 0.5 micron carbon block. GAC prefilters really have no place in the high capacity systems we use in this hobby. Really no need for a third prefilter, but you could use a second sediment filter or a second carbon block if you'd like.

![]() If not mistaken, Buckeye Field Supply has them. Not going to find that much difference in price through various vendors, a dollar or two here or there. BFS was kind enough to walk you through getting it working, that probably has some karma.
