Hey guys,

I am a newbie who bought a Water Softener(RF 1500) and reverse osmosis system from Rayne Water.

I need to uninstall this from a house and take it to my place.

Can you please point me to some documentation on what to do and how to close up after I complete the uninstall?

Thanks :)
Prem

Sorry, close up what? The plumbing has to be put back together and done right or you could have a serious water danage problem down the road. If you mean the equipment. Don't lay the softener down more than a 45 deg angle or you'll get resin into the control valve possibly. The RO should be stood up so it doesn't leak.

Gary,
Thanks for your prompt reply. You said the plumbing needs to be put back, but I do not know how it was before the RO was installed at his place. Are there any diagrams for this? What tools do I need?

Thanks,
Prem

The best way is to leave the water shut off valve there and get a new one or plumb one when you re-install the RO. I don't know of any diagram, this is simple mechanics.
