    Hi all,

    I need to know if anyone knows anything about my new RO system.
    It's a 4 stage stingray filters 200lpd ro/di system, the only problem is I don't know if I've set it up right.

    Can anyone explain which hose are what...

    Any help would be appreciate

    The tube on the left should be for your sediment filter which is the first stage of your ro unit. That's where the line that comes from your faucet or water line tap goes to. The fitting on the front of it looks like it goes to the next filter in the middle which is your carbon block chamber. The fitting leaving that chamber then goes to your membrane on top. The fitting on the right of the membrane leads back to your DI resin chamber and the last fitting on the front of the DI chamber should be your pure water line. There should also be a fitting on your membrane for a waste water line

    I'm not 100% sure but the part where the pressure gauge is on the membrane looks like where the waste water line goes

    #1 is where your incoming tap water line connects.
    The water travels through the clear sediment filter canister, then through the middle carbon block housing and up through the austoshutoff valve to the RO membrane housing on top entering the membrane housing on the end with a single connection. It exits the RO housing via the connection closest to the centerline on the opposite end, back through the ASOV and the DI canister and the treated RO/DI water exits #2 in the last photo. The waste exits the membrane housing from the end with two connections and is the connection closer to the outside edge and goes through the flow restrictor in the second photo.

    Here is a diagram you can use as a reference. Disregard the drinking water tank and faucet and your sediment and DI canisters are reversed compared to the drawing, yours enters from the right and exits left and theirs enters the left and exits right, otherwise they are the same.
