    Got it today.

    It looks idiot proof.

    I'll install it either tonight or tomorrow.

    I'll report back on the how badly the idiot screwed up in installing it and how well it seems to work.

    I have had one of these for years. I loved it then and still do.

    I do want to point out that it is imperative that you line up the pins that go inside the waterline properly. I have double-checked with a handheld unit and the pin alignment does affect accuracy.

    I got it like a hour after that post. Easy to install... I didn't even turn my water off. Gotta love JG fittings.
    Anyway anyone want to guess what my 6 month 93% rejection Lowe's RO is passing. 83 TDS !
    Two stage Spetra-Pure DI 0 TDS. At least that was money well spent.

    Hmmm, initially 725 in and 105 out! I was pulling from a hot water line as that is what the frig was pulling from for some reason. I changed feed lines and it is now 370 in and 35 out. I'm going to let it run for a while just to push through all the old water and recheck. It may be time for a new membrane.

    HOT water? My RO unit specifically said not to run from a hot water line as it will kill the membrane.

    Hmmm, I seem to be lucky.
    Now that it has settled in 367 in and 4 out.
