ATO Issue

[Joek866]

Guys, I've just set up my new 450 Dlx. I am testing the ATO with the tank running by gently pressing down on the float. No water is coming out of the little white spicket. What am I doing wrong? how is the spicket adjusted?

On the 650 there is a valve attached to the hose. Maybe try following the hose and look for something that twists.

I'm assuming the white knob on the tee is the flow control, correct?
The water should flow from underneath the float like my RODI works, correct?

Yes, thats it. Try taking hose of valve and check water is making it to the valve.

I did that and water is flowing. I adjusted the flow with the hose off so I could actually witness flow. It was just dripping a little when first checked so I adjusted the valve until I go a stream.

I know sometimes the hole in the float can get clogged, I'm guessing the problem is in your float. Maybe try taking it off and running hot water from sink through the hole to determine if it's clogged. And also the hose has to have a straight path down from valve to float system. If all else fails, try your float from the RO.

I've recently given up on getting my ATO to work right. Both valve and float get clogged very quickly, and I have an abundance of equipment in my sump making it impossible to clean all the time. Tunze ATO back in action for my tank.
