Okay here’s some pics of the system and a quick video of the drip issue

Here’s the washer connection:

Here’s the system:

With those and the washer connection, I think I just need the guest valve currently (and to also hook up my in-line TDS meter)

That said, even with the washer connection as off as I can get it showing 0 PSI, I still get this drip out of my DI line (for good water not waste water):

I’m hoping the guest valve will solve it, but if it doesn’t, any thoughts?

Interesting. My money is on the Guest Val e fixing the issue.

So quick update, while I can’t say with 100% certainty, I believe the guest valve solved the dripping issue. (Now to get the DI cartridge off so I can change that, the previous owner was apparently he-man)

Best way is to mount the unit on a board on the wall.
This gives you leverage to turn the wrench.
I've had to put an extension on the handle once.
Otherwise have someone hold the unit while you work the wrench.

Tap/smack the end of the wrench with a largish hammer. You do need some way to get leverage and hold it still while you put force on it.

I’ll look into mounting it. I’ll have to see what’s available

The white metal is a mount. Tapcons for concrete, screws for wood and hang it up.

Yep, pop the membrane housing out of the brackets, mount the metal to a wall, put the membrane housing back in and you're good to go.

That’s metal? I honestly thought it plastic

God I hope not.

Actually, some RO makes do use plastic.
