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

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.

I did get a bad membrane once Sean, went through a whole lot of quiz questions from Aquasafe to verify that. You should contact them if you think that might be the problem.

I second that, I didn't get instructions with mine either. I just emailed them and they sent me everything I needed to know via email.
