First off i've been googling all night....

I just got a 5 stage R/O unit yesterday. We were going to wait till the weekend to set it up. However upon returning home my husband discovered my 2 year old's Goldfish trying to do the back stroke. So of course I have no more bottled water to change out his tank, it just made sense to set up the r/o and maybe save NEMO.

We did id the easy way under the sink and they gave you these nifty pipe peircers to run it off the cold and back into the drain, Hoping to move it under the house to run the whole house later.

At first the Tank/bladder(as H calls it) wasn't filling up but the wather kept running for over 2 hours, not even a swish of water in the tank. We followed the trouble shooting and let a little pressure from the tank and got it filling. However we found once the tank was full the water keeps running and running and running through the system and out the drain. It's like if the tank if full we are just filling our grey water feild outside and making our main water pump kick in all the time like crazy.

we really don't use alot of water, and don't pay for it at all. 5 times the ammout of waste water to clean water I can handle but water running down the drain with no purpose doesn't make sense. Shouldn't there be an automatic way for the system to shut off when the tank is full?
