Do you have one of these FM-2

[BravoTwoZero]

Hi, do you have a FM-2? need to make sure which is water in/out think I know as in the photo but need to make sure. Thanks

There should be an arrow indicating water flow on 1 of the ports.

You would think but no, just an arrow on the back of the unit in an anti clockwise direction.

 

[Coolcasino]

Yes that's the direction the water needs to go.

 

[Coolcasino]

There's only 2 ways it can go. Install it one way and if it doesn't work reverse it. You got a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time.

If this arrow (counter-clockwise) is on the back of the part that contains the sensor and accepts the water lines:
You can tell which port the water goes into to cause that direction of flow through the circular unit.

***without actually seeing it, just from what I've read here, seems like your "in"/"out" mockups in your first picture would be backwards,,, unless I'm misreading something

There is an arrow on mine.

There is an arrow on mine.

So the TOP line in this picture should be the water going "in" to the unit,,, correct?

P.S. OP said "anti clockwise",,, I'd call this "clockwise" ... but maybe OP was correcting for "looking from above"

Yeah thought so but just double checking, thanks.

Yes

Yup that's it, iv'e got mine the other way round attached to the wall. So looking at it the other way round the right hand side is input, thanks. By the way how do you find it working as after I bought it read a lot of bad reviews.... When you change the battery on the box do you lose all information and start from scratch?

 

[EricR]

Yeah thought so but just double checking, thanks.

After seeing your picture -- it's now opposite of what I thought you said ... so I'm changing my answer ... just follow the arrow

Yes looking from the front would be anti clockwise. (If it's the front)

 

[BravoTwoZero]

Just to show you what iv'e done so I can attach it to my board. Used cd case front and some floor underlay to back up,

 

[EricR]

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to be "monitoring" with this?
Total RO/DI production or something like that?

Life of the carbon blockes and DI usage, give some idea how long they last and amount of water used.
