I can hear the pump running. The lights make it look like everything is running correctly. Source water light is on, Making water light is on.

Ok I found the problem. The 90° fitting going into the RO canister is not allowing water to pass. There is a small metal valve built into the fitting that remains closed. If I push on the metal disc at the bottom of the fitting it will open and then allows water to flow. With water pressure on the fitting the small metal valve remains closed. It seems like if there was pressure inside the RO canister that the inside pressure might open the valve allowing the water to flow, but how do you get pressure inside the canister if the valve is closed. Is this small valve required? What if I replaced the fitting with another fitting without a valve?
I have attached a couple pictures.

I pulled the RO canister fittings off and found that the fitting going to the waste line did not have this small check valve on it but the fitting for the produced water did have a check valve built into the fitting. I swapped the fittings around so now both my waste line and produced water line have check valves and my inlet water source does not have a check valve. Everything seems to be working fine.
My guess is that the fitting for source water is not supposed to have a check valve and someone screwed up in the assembly of my unit. All is well now and it appears that I am going to like this unit. Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.

It will flush after it senses that the reservoir is full then once it's done then the housings will fill

I'm just setting my unit in the sink when I need ro/di, then the water tube is submerged in a 5g pail. how does it know when the reservoir is full? I'm thinking the canisters shouldn't be full of water when I put it away.
