Ebay RO DI Unit Help!

[jataft83]

Hello everyone! I just installed my RO DI unit i purchased on ebay (the 59.99 one) and i am getting extreme leaks out of the RO membrane side. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are the hoses in the connector correctly? Mine were'nt tight when I get it. I believe theres another member with the same issue.

I believe so push in the collet and insert hose until it stops then let go of collet. I have to run a errand quick then i will check. I also sent in a help ticket to purewaterclub.com

i have this exact one. i just used teflon tape to fix all my leaks. i stripped the threads out of one but lucky i was able to take it off and use my die grinder and take some material off so i can get some good threads again. plastic is nothing i can heli-coil.

they sell all those quick disconnect fittings and a hardware store, i picked up a few extra and some more tubing. if the fitting leaks from where the tubing is inserted, take it out again and use a flashlight to look at the Oring inside and see if its out of place.

I'm having my DI section replaced due to cover leaking.

Thank you all for the advice. I am talking to David right now and I hope he is going to square me away. Maybe there was a shipping error in some systems, because mine is doing the same thing Buffy's is doing.

Mine DI section was supposed to be shipped earlier this week, and he said bout 3 or 4 days. So we'll see how it goes. I will let you know. He said that the one he is sending me will not leak. Hopefully I'll be able to take it apart to replace the resin when it's time LOL. I tried unscrewing the cap to rescrew it on and I could not budge it.

Good luck

I tried that also. I figure the valve was just loose or something like that. I will update you also if i get it fixed.

Yay!!!!!!!!, I couldn't fix mine. Np though, they are sending replacement. They were very easy to resolve the issues and very quick to respond.
