Newly installed RO/DI w/ accessories issues

Hi All,

So I just installed my Maxxima 50 GPD 4-Stage RO unit with accessories. I added a BRS dual-line TDS meter....(in) line between my source and the filter...(out) line after the membrane. I'm reading 15 going in and 0 going out.

I installed a BRS "flush kit" after the membrane and going to the waste line. Question: How long does one flush for?

I installed a BRS Pressure Gauge after the 3 stages but before the membrane (per instructions).
Question: Why am I getting no pressure reading? If I plug the blue line long enough the 3rd stage canister fill and I get a pressure reading.

I installed the unit dry with no water in it.

Did I do something wrong?
