Post TDS readings

Had similiar problem, constant stream from waste water line and no unit output. After a few e-mails back and forth from Aqusafe was instructed to disassemble and clean the AVS. Did so, didn't notice any debris but when I reassembled flow stopped.

Suggest do all the hook ups as AVS needs back pressure to shut off. Note, if you have a tank it will take awhile before that fills and unit shuts down. If you have the tank and turn off the line to it does the waste flow stop?

I dont have the storage tank for the filter. I have the line coming from the RO membrane , out of the elbow w/ the metallic nut going into my DI filter (but nothing is going into there). Might be a stupid question, but what is the AVS? thanks...

I think it was supposed to be ASV or auto shutoff valve, aka the white box that has 4 tubes going into it.

and here I was thinking it was a fancy digital unit with anti-virus software..

Don't have the aquasafe doc with me to know what AVS stands for so would be guessing but its the small white puck shaped device with believe 4 lines hooked to it, held together with 4 screws. It basically controls the flow.

Is that the waffle/pancake thingy? I had the same problem and it was hooked up wrong. The white kids get the waffle.

well i dont have the white puck thing, so i dont think thats the problem ...

After spending most of the day trying to get it to work, I am starting to think there is something wrong with the RO membrane, as its basically the only thing it could be. There is a good amount of water entering the RO unit, the unit is sitting snug into the bottom (the end with the 2 o-rings is down). There isn't supposed to be anything else in the RO canister (ie washer etc) other than the ro membrane itself, correct? I am getting plenty of waste water but NO ro water. arg! any ideas?

This thing. The other tube end of the ro unit with the metal nut connects to it.

yah i definatley didn't get one of those, I had it hooked up properly before without one. Then I swapped out all the filters and got nothin.
