    The RO Bucket doesn't use an off the shelf residential membrane housing, they are specially made for their application. Your housing has the water port in the center and the concentrate line off to the right (the fitting that is slightly higher is always the concentrate port). Different manufacturers put their concentrate port on different sides.

    If you just switch all your bottom ports (keep all the hoses connected as they are) it will be plumbed correctly.

    Also it looks like you are using vinyl hose? That might pop out of the push connects when you build up pressure. You should use HDPE or LLDPE hose for the pressure side (permeate will work with vinyl).

    Since having some technical problems with my home made RO the only thing ran through it was distilled water. That being the case, do I still need to run a preservative through the filters for storage or will they be fine with the distilled water?
