I am hooking up a 5 stage rodi plus from brs. Quick question. I just inboxed it and connected the tubes. I am assuming I need to flush the system. I didn’t unscrew the reading containers because the resin came in them. When first setting this up should I turn the flush valve so that the water cycles through the system? If so, how long do I do that before running the water to my container for water storage for fish tank? Second, when I am done filling my container, I assume I turn the flush valve and run for a bit to flush the system. How long should that be?
 
Just wanted to add. I have been running it for about 10 minutes and the tds meter on the single unit is reading 7 in and 0 out. I am assuming that is normal especially since I have high tds in tap water. Also one other stupid question...... the three initial reservoirs filled with water but the last one doesn’t fill all the way. It is just trickling in. Normal? You can see the water line in the photo.

Ok just read something that indicates the resin chamber never really fully fills since it is producing the water. Is this correct? Also, one last question (hopefully), I am assuming when I am done running this and flushing it, the prefilter reservoir, carbon block reservoir, and resin reservoir stay filled with water, correct?
 
Correct, the DI container should fill & then the unit should shut down via the ASO Valve.
This will leave the unit under pressure until the next time it's used.
I try NOT to leave it there, after flushing I turn off the supply line then the pressure will drop.
