Did you get the instructions? They are on his
website also.

Here is a pic from his site as well. The red line goes from your supply (hose bib, etc) to the unit ( the side of the right hand cannister). The black is your waste line and the blue comes out of the top of the RO membrane container and then goes into the DI unit. It then comes out of the DI cannister and is ready to use.

If you are still having problems, let me know. If you are using the T inbetween the RO unit and the DI unit, make sure the valve is off.

Go to the hardware store and by some adapter pieces... Take the faucet part that comes off with it as a guide to build the adapter that you need
