New RO unit: help needed

[tapsman]

At a garage sale I bought an Ionics Micromax RO system. This is marketed as an under-the-sink RO unit. I know I will need to buy new filter canisters. Have any of you ever used this type RO unit before for sap? And if you have, how did you get it up and running? Do any of you have any pictures of your set-up? Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide!!!!!

Thank you Dr. Perkins! This looks very similar to what I have. I now have to put it all together.

You're welcome. The key thing to keep in mind is that what these household units consider to be waste (what doesn't pass through the membrane) is what we want to keep, and what they want to keep (what does pass through the membrane), we toss out. If you get it reversed, you'll have a lot of boiling to do without a lot to show for it. :)
