Very easy. Some R/O systems come with a combination of 3/8" and 1/4" tubing and fittings. The one that I have I specified that I needed 3/8" fittings. Sorry for the fuzzy pic. The clear 3/8" tubing runs from the storage tank back into the R/O system. The 3/8" black tubing then runs from the fitting into the pump and out to the nozzles. We run about 75 nozzles on a 5 gallon tank. Be sure to get a solenoid valve to place on your misting line. The pressure from the R/O system will force water right through your pump and out the open end nozzles. Hook the solenoid valve up on the same timer as your pump.
You mean I can bypass the pump, due to the pressure of the holding tank? As I said, I'm not very technologically savvy, so it'll take a bit of research for me. Thanks
One way to increase the pressure in the holding tank is to use a high pressure auto shut off valve. The pressure in the tank will be about 80% of your tap water pressure.
Standard auto shut off valves shut off at about 66% of tap water pressure.

Looked at your order - doesn't look like you ordered an ASOV.

Yeah that is like the one in the Watt's system except the one you linked is 110VAC
Nice valve.... just don't over tighten or wrap too much teflon tape on the fittings...... those valve bocies crack pretty easily... not that I would know
Is that the part that leaks on my system now?
Is it becoming an issue now?
what is leaking?

I'm pretty sure it's the little black square thing on this link provided from earlier in the thread.
