Need advice/ help setting up ro/di

[kiransreef]

I just got a RO/DI unit used from a guy in Orlando.....it is a 4 stage 100gpd unit....w/tds meter and pressure gauge. But, now my prob is that can't figure out how to hook it up. When he dissconnected it from his house to mail it to me, he did not send any directions as to where what tube goes where and where the tds meter probes to either. Going today to get tanked (closest place) to get direction. Also, gonna go to HD to get garbage can for holding water.... Does anyone here have any extra barrel that they want to sell? I am not sure if a garbage can is the way to go? Can anyone here give me any advice? Thanks, Crystal

it's pretty simple.. On end of the TDS plugs in before the input on the unit, which would be the tube that feeds the first stage of mechanical filtration, and the other end plugs in after the DI canister, which is also the output side of the whole unit..

As far as how to handle the water, it depends on your situation.. I know that most people like to elevate the water container and install a valve so that you can get all of the water out.. If this isn't possbible for you, just use a trashcan and dip a bucket in.. That's what I did for a while before I got my station built..
