aquasafe RO/DI problems

[rattler]

I hope somebody can steer me in the right direction.
Last year I bought a used 100 gal/ day aquasafe 5 stage system from another reefer on this board. Well the time has come to install this unit for a 120 gal tank that is being set up. The unit never came with any instructions and I have struck out looking on the web for installation instructions. ( nice web site aquasafecanada.com !! ) I have put new prefilters in and new DI resin. I hooked the unit up to a cold water supply and have the output coming from the DI cartridge to a float valve on a 50 gallon blue plastic tank (barrel), I'm not using the final water polishing filter. The waste water line goes from the check Valve? to a drain in the floor. When I turned on the water the system fills up and starts filling the drum. The problem is it fills the drum in 1 hour and I can not see any waste water coming from the ro cartridge, this is clear tubing. the TDS in measures 212 and measures 140 coming out. I thought it was a bad ro cartridge so I put a new one on and the exact same thing happens. I have the same TDS as well as speed filling the barrel. I am stumped as to what the problem is.

Sorry for the long winded explanation but I wanted to try and explain everything.

Aquasafe instructions and I placed a picture here that might help.

one more request could somebody please post a picture or diagram of the valve with the 2 inlets and 2 outputs. When I reversed the input lines it seems to be functioning properly. will need to wait for some water to be produced to see if the TDS is correct.

Cheers!

That is a solenoid that will activate and shut off water production if a float valve is installed. All you need to do to test if it is working is plug the good effluent and it should stop the water flow
