Big Country February 18, 2008 Share February 18, 2008 Was working through the install of my Typhoon III from the group buy. Directions say to connect the drain tube to a tube looking thing called a flow control. There is not a part in the bag that looks like that. Are these instructions just outdated or am I missing a part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 February 18, 2008 Share February 18, 2008 It's a flow restrictor. Don't know what it looks like on that model, but typically it's just a small john guest fitting with a small barrel on it. It reduces flow to match the output of the membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trble81 February 18, 2008 Share February 18, 2008 Charles, I got the same unit as you did (I think) from the group buy. When I looked at the instructions that night, I said to myself, "hmm....I'll deal with this later." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal February 18, 2008 Share February 18, 2008 The "flow control" mentioned in the instructions is the flow restrictor. In the second picture above, it's the white part with the black handle on the top/right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country February 18, 2008 Author Share February 18, 2008 The "flow control" mentioned in the instructions is the flow restrictor. In the second picture above, it's the white part with the black handle on the top/right. Got it, that was what I was hoping. I guess the intructions that I have were for the basic Typhoon which doesn't have the fast flush valve so it needs the flow controller piece. AWI just needs to do a better job with their instructions. All white tubing is driving me crazy also since I was used to blue (water in), yellow (water out), orange (waste) with my kent marine unit. I've got it up and running and not showing any leaks after almost an hour of the final testing of the unit so I'm ready to make water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country February 18, 2008 Author Share February 18, 2008 Got this email back from Air Water Ice today. The flow (control) restrictor and the ASOV are both installed on the unit. You're not missing a part (but the instructions are outdated and are in the process of being updated).

Kengar February 18, 2008 Share February 18, 2008 so I'm ready to make water. In Driving Miss Daisy, Huck (Morgan Freeman) asks Miss Daisy for permission to pull the car over to "make water" by the side of the road. I don't think he was brewing salt water; you fixin' to do the same????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was brewing salt water; you fixin' to do the same????? It would sure take a long time to make 20 gallons of that kind of water for a water change. I think I'll stick to the RO/DI water at 3 gallons per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
