Did my question put everybody to sleep ?

I just installed a new "The Filter Guys" ro/di and it started working immediately. It was a bit confusing because of all the little hoses going in every direction, but I finally got it fingered out. I'm thinking you might have some lines crossed? I could see how that would happen. Rick
