Can you post a pic of your aquasafe unit set up?

Makes sense but I can't seem to get it to work. The claws on the inner piece don't come out of the line. I figure I must be missing something because every one I have tried to take apart breaks.

Remove pressure from the lines before you start, then use your thumbnail to push the outer ring inward, while also pushing the tubing in. Then pull the tubing out while holding the outer ring in.

Again, much harder to do on pressurized lines.

I'll make sure I get rid of the pressure before trying it next time.

Thanks

That picture I think has me even more confused

Drew - if your offer of help still stands I may call in the favour when you have time in the next week or two?

What type of unit is it, I just installed a 100 gpd, ro/di unit from aqua safe, but it included the three demin cylinders w/o the pressure cannister, maybe I can help. But the one big mistake I did make was not using a plastic to plastic thread dope, leaks from all threaded joints so had to redo, just a heads up.

I have the same unit. I bought it over two years ago and never got around to installing it

The instructions I find are even more confusing. I think I get the basic idea of what I need to do, I think I'm just afraid of the actual act of piercing water lines and flooding everything.

Greg, I'd definitely still be willing to lend whatever help I can. Having only set up ONE, I'm no expert, but hey....two heads are better than one? Or is it fools seldom differ? Huh....

I set mine up near my washing machine, which has worked splendidly. I was also very worried about piercing water lines, especially since I rent...hah. But I got a "Y" adaptor for my cold water line and attached a brass gate valve fitting. Boo-yah! I can take pics tonight if you want.

D-a it's actually really simple the piercing part goes to your drain if your drain pipe is plastic you won't have any problems if it's copper then don't tap it. As for the supply you will need to find out what size it is then go to home depot they have everything there.
