Yes I know the pressure was low its actually at 20 it's dropped that's why I was looking into buying the booster
Here's a pic of it although most of the lines are hidden http://s1359.beta.photobucket.com/us...dfc62.jpg.html
I have checked and believe it to be all hooked up right

How much is going to drain?use a measuring cup and a stop watch.post volume at the 1 minute mark.

The filter was installed upside down. Turn it around and TDS will be zero.

j/k

However if your in the market for a full system I bought mine from maxwater and happy. (don't own their stock or have anything to gain)

Lol ckmullin it very well might be

So I did the test and the production line was 1.5 liters and the waste was .5 liters so does that mean the production and waste lines are reversed ? If so it was that way from the factory man I really wish I would have bought a tds meter right off the bat ....that's what you get for buying at big als with out doing your homework first

I'm not no ro expert but 1/3 is the rough ratio...1 good 3 bad though.

Yes ckmullin is correct, you should have 1litre good to 3-4 litres waste water

Your sediment filter does not seem dirty. Mine is a lot dirtier, way more dirtier when my pressure goes down. If you can, check the pressure after the DI while it is making water.

Can't see enough of the lines to be able to make a judgement if everything is ok. But I suspect it is reversed as ckmullin pointed out.

A booster pump will help you out a lot.

So I believe it has been hooked up alright but I think the low water pressure may be the culprit I am going to tap into my main 3/4 inch line and run the 1/4" off of that ,if that boosts the pressure then i will by all new filters and a new di , if it still sits low then I am going to spring for a new unit one with a booster pump and tds meter all built in ...... I hope the new line placement works
