Sorry dude, I forgot to mention how to de pressurize the system when charged. You turn the main water supply off, then you push the de pressurize valve button on the unit. Or you can open a sink faucet to let the pressure water out. Then remove the old filter and reinstall new filter and turn the water back on, my bad

Yes, The old one coming from the facet is just dangling now. You can cap it for fun if you want. But no need to, since we bypass now.

I happy the video is helping you. Once you go through the whole process. You should be good to go for a couple years. You can wash in normally with soap and water. The good thing with the mirror finish is the dirt and grime cleans right off. You could use a detailing spray wax to keep it looking fresh! If it starts to look dull again that’s when you could use the buffing compound to remove any dirt or lake water buildup. Good luck with your project! 😁🙌

No, there is no air gap now. Just a check valve

@@BrandonMcGee1 can this double up as a dishwasher airgap if needed? I'm asking cause I stay in a rented apartment, and I can't drill a second hole for a faucet, so I wanted to know if these faucets can double up as an airgap for the dishwasher as well.

Good question, I’m not sure, I would think the increase water pressure would clear the clog. I will have to test it out and find out

Like?

🤔 that’s odd. I recommend using the check valve for safety reasons. But that shouldn’t affect your water pressure. Sounds like your filters are shot, or your water pressure regulator tube is clogged. It in the middle filter with the tube on the bottom inside the tube is another smaller tube that gets clogged. Hope this helps

@@BrandonMcGee1 thanks for the reply, I think i just didnt let it charge long enough but then again i dont know when thelast time they changed their filters. I will ask them and let it charge for a good couple hours. Thanks again.

@@BrandonMcGee1 How about: the cheap chinese plastic check valve is a joke. Restricted flow in either direction.

@@sarentopi1502should be fine I think there all Chinese parts now anyway

I get about 2 hrs runtime on a 60v 2amp battery

Good to know! My gun, always jams the last nail in the clip. Some days I miss my paslode gas gun. 😆

Use what instead?

I agree, I wasn’t a fan of the shark bite system too. I like the design of everything else on it. But, one bad seal would make this system useless. But it easier to replace when it breaks 😆

You can get some foam board pink or blue 2” thick and build a box around your water filter system. That should help

Yes, that would work it would just take longer 🤷‍♂️

​@@BrandonMcGee1I thought maybe it would be faster because wherever the hammer strikes, it pushes the tile outwards, dislodging it immediately

What!? I never knew, I’m going to try it tomorrow

@@BrandonMcGee1 Yeah, I have had this drill like two years before I figured that out. :D

What!? Did you apply it heavily? If you water it down, you won’t get the glossy look. How did you apply it? Why isn’t working for you properly?

@@BrandonMcGee1, it streaked the l flooring. I sprayed it from a bottle.

@@BrandonMcGee1, luxury vinyl. It’s white. Anything you drop gets absorbed in this horrible product. With your product I had hoped the floor would be shiny. But nooo, it came out all streaky and in some places dull!

Yes that’s normal. If your filter system is making water it will be draining water. The water check valve will only stop water from going in the opposite direction

@@BrandonMcGee1, thank you for your answer.

😞

Thank you for your comment! I do agree, to be the safest you should have the air gap. My question is, if or when the sewage backs up, wouldn’t the drain pipe still get contaminated even with the air gap in place. I would picture sewage water coming up on my counter top threw the air gap. I know most cases the air gap will protect in most situations. But if we are talking drainage failure I still think the air gap would get contaminated. I always learning I’m not trying to be difficult. Would the air gap really make a difference, when the drainage fails?

@@BrandonMcGee1 No. not with a properly engineered air gap. I completely agree with you that the air gaps built into the faucets are extremely poorly designed and cause exactly the problem you have described The backed up waste will overflow at a point below the discharge pipe. This is not what generally occurs with the RO airgap. Generally the 3/8 hose from the airgap to the waste plugs up with airborne mold or it may plug at the saddle. I don’t use saddles either as saddles are prohibited on waste pipes In most jurisdictions The dual air gap serving both the dishwasher and the RO is extremely reliable and almost never causes problems. It also eliminates most drain noise Remember the airgap must be installed above the flood plane so depending on where the blockage is the lowest point in the system is generally the shower pan so blockage will be seen there first in most cases. Obviously if the blockage is further up the system than even the kitchen sink can separately become blocked

😆🙌

The check valve stops dirty waste pipe water from getting into your drinking water system.

Thanks!

It should, the recovery rate isn’t the fastest. You will just need to have extra batteries on hand. It’s great for small projects. I wouldn’t trust it to frame a whole house 🏠
