Russ - ill give you guys a call when I'm on my days off.

Mike31154 - if I figur out what's wrong with mine I'll let you know.

There seems to be a couple of different asov I had the one in the shown with 4 ports on it and the one I have set up now is a kent and it has 3. Same idea different layout.

I have yet to fill up my holding tank as then I can't move it. I was hoping to get it up and running for a few weeks before I head out on holidays, and leave it running while I'm gone. Plus I don't want a water fall coming down the steps when I forget that I'm making water. I'd do that the first time I think.

Thanks for all the help and ideas guys keep them coming.

Even if you get it working, I'd advise against leaving any RODI system running while away for an extended period. Disaster waiting to happen, unless you have someone looking in from time to time or have it set up so that any leaks will go down a drain. Be prepared for a hefty water bill.

Fairly certain that the issue with mine is the ASOV, but I'm not going to bother trying to troubleshoot or replace the damned thing. I'll just keep shutting off manually when I'm done. But thanks, I will certainly be interested in finding out what's up with yours.

I've got a brand new valve and have never gotten around to installing it. I know roughly how long I need to run things and set myself an obnoxious timer. I prefer to play it safe!

There have been a couple times I've forgotten about the timer and have been away from the house when it went off. This was before I got float valves installed on the containers so I had to haul it home fast.

If the hydraulic shut off valves don't float your boat, there's always a pressure switch, transformer, and solenoid. Works very well.

If I can't get this to work then I'll probley look into one of those. I need to do my homework on them before I go and buy one.
