I just changed out my filters and membrane. Now my system is sending all water to the drain. No water is going to the tank. I can feel the tubing from the membrane is cold going to drain tube but warm going to tank tube. My tank is completely empty. Help.

Step 9. Filling the System THOROUGHLY WASH HANDS BEFORE LOADING CARTRIDGES AND MEMBRANE ELEMENTS. Remove the PRE-FILTER housing bowl by turning counter clockwise with the housing wrench supplied. Remove all protective wrapping from the filter cartridges. Insert the white 5-micron sediment filter cartridge in the housing and reassemble housing.
TDS readings in the product water begin to rise. Total Dissolved Solids may be measured by a professional or by use of a simple hand-held TDS monitor. These are available from your dealer or from Waterite’s Online Store at www.waterite.com (the RO405400TNX comes with a TDS meter preinstalled).
The membrane element life will range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the quality of the raw water. Soft water free from iron is ideal. Hardness, iron, chlorine and infrequently changed filter cartridges are the membrane’s greatest enemies. To change the membrane element, start by closing the cold water supply valve. Open the faucet and completely drain until the flow of water stops.
