Sorry, I meant the thingie marked "ASOV" on the Melev site above (auto shut off valve). Mine is attached to the end of where the three canisters go into the membrane and then goes to the DI. No water was going through it, so no new water was being made, which means my whole unit was sitting there stagnating for a day.
I took mine apart and the rubber inside looks degraded. I rinsed it all under hot water and put it back together and water is flowing again through the "thing". I need to buy a new one because I don't think that'll work for long.

Do we even need this thing or what? I'm not too sure what use it is....

In my experience these things are cheap and break all the time. Taking them apart has never gotten them working again for me. This time around I've chosen to remove it entirely and manually fill my reservoir every week or so after a water change.

You need that ASOV Otherwise, your reservoir of good RO water would be full, and not flowing, but water would still flow to the drain

Yeah I keep an eye on it and turn it off when my tank is full.

Well I ordered a new ASOV form Aquasafe and WOW I recieved my order the next day. Service was amazing.

Despite the new Valve it still does not shut off.

Any other suggestions?

I'd say check all the plumbing against that melev's site's schematic.
The ASOV is just that. It shuts off the flow. Its either the plumbing or the new valve is faulty. Check the plumbing to and from the ASOV
