Just set up the RO unit I bought yesterday and have no clue where the clean water comes out from. It was somebody else’s so I’m not sure if the model other than that it’s an Airwaterice. Any help is appreciated

From following the lines that I could, the black line going into the bucket in the first picture is going to be your product water line. If there's another hose that spits out water at a much faster rate is your waste water line.Just set up the RO unit I bought yesterday and have no clue where the clean water comes out from.

Thanks, I was thinking it’s the black line too but the previous owner said it’s not and you can just plug it. I know the one that is dumping water is the waste but couldn’t be sure which one the clean water came from. The black one comes out at the slow rate I expected.

Do you have a TDS meter? You are going to need one anyway to check on the status of the RODI media. Just be mindful that you need to run the RODI filter for a bit before you get an accurate reading. But it still will help you to ID the lines. Hope this helps. Cheers!

That’s a good point and will be my next purchase, thank you! Obviously if the TDS is very low coming out of one tube it is the product water, should’ve thought of that on my own. Making me feel stupid lol
