I recently purchased a house which has the Kinetico Plus GX Deluxe unit sitting under the sink, but it doesn't appear to be completely or properly hooked up. (it looks like a tube or two may be missing?) Can anyone provide information on the proper connections for this? I just want to verify all the right connections are in place.

I'm not sure about that particular model, but most RO's have 4 lines: 1. Main Feed 2. RO Tank. 3. RO Faucet. 4. Drain. If you have an air gap faucet there is a 5th line. The drain line comes from the RO in a 1/4" line to the faucet, then goes to house drain in 3/8". Hope this helps

My filter assembly appears to have a total of 7 ports, and the tank appears to have a total of 5 ports.
The intake port on the filter assembly is connected to the water supply line.
The outlet port on the filter assembly is connected to a T-split, with one line heading to the faucet and the other line attached to the tank (I'm assuming this an inlet port on the tank, as all 4 of the other ports face the opposite direction).
Viewing the tank from above with the inlet port facing north (and thus the remaining ports facing south), I'm labeling the ports T1 through T4 starting from the left.
Viewing the filter assembly from the front (the ports are actually in the back), with the intake port on the left and the outlet port on the right, I'm labeling the ports F1 through F5 starting from the intake side.
F1 is connected to T2.
F2 is plugged.
F3 is connected to T4.
F4 is connected to the drain.
F5 is connected to T1.
T3 is plugged.
None of these ports are actually labeled, so I have no clue what they are for, how they are used, or what the correct connections should be.
Anyone know if this setup is correct?
