RODI Setup Questions

twilson · 07/31/2012, 10:23 AM

I posted this question the other day but I couldn't post a picture until now. I'm pretty new to this and I couldn't find the original post. Anyway I have pieced together a devoneb Reverse Osmosis system from two. I have "frankensteind" them together but I have no idea if I have it right. Does anyone have a manual or a picture of what direction and where the tubes need to go? This time I have attached a picture! Thanks for any help!

You would have to post more pics from different angles.

more than likely this is what u need to do. maybe some other can chime in but do post few more pics with different angles.

Need more pics to make sure you got all the hardware. tap goes into the sediment, then carbon, 2nd carbon, then into the autoshutoff which I'm not sure if you have or not, also flush kit or no? The 2 horizontal canisters on the top are both DI?

Thats a 6 stage RO/DI.. I have one very similar to that one... It goes like he said but I notice that you are missing a few things like a line for the waste that should be the top output of the membrane... Also need a flow restrictor of the waste line and a TDS meter to see how dirty is the water going in and how clean is coming out... Dont use this setup until u get the TDS because u might be getting dirty water for not being properly assembled

Let me start by saying thank you for your responses. This place is so helpful. I am sorry for the delay but I am currently camera-less so that is also my excuse for the image quality. I have included more pictures here so that I can get a little better idea of what I need to do. I have a TDS meter so that is in some of the pictures I think. I also have extra parts. As I said originally this is a setup that I am putting together from a box of pieces that I got from a friend. If there is any other information I can give to help this process please let me know. Thank you again for all of the info!

The upper two cannisters look like two RO membranes. They are not big enough to be DI resin cannisters. The way things are connected, the original owner seems to have bypassed the original membrane unit of the first part, and replaced it with this twin unit. Do the twin units contain anything?

The front unit is a basic 4 stage RO unit. It is missing a flush kit and flow restrictor. The top container is the actual RO membrane cannister and should have two outlets: on for the clean water and one for waste water.
