Re: Daugherty's 75

Is that float valve copper or brass? I would be leery of using either. I would stick will the all plastic version.

Re: Daugherty's 75

I have a question. In garbage can is your ro water. The tube going into the valve is the ro unit. Am I right so far? If so I understand that once water get to the float it stops. I know it's like the float in a toilet. So how does unit stop making ro water once it reaches the float? Plus where is the bad water going?

Re: Daugherty's 75

the ro has two outlets one is the blue line in the pic that goes to the sink the second one goes to the basement and one line goes to the presssure tank. there is a little valve omn the unit that when it hits a set pressure it shuts the unit off. in the pic it is the big block looking thing in the middle. and the bad water is the orange tube and it goes to the drain under the sink
