How can I prevent this from getting caught in the valves below the sink?

Routing is important here. I put a plastic barrier and all worked well for me.

Use a hacksaw to cut off the offending valves. It's sad you were unable to come up with this solution on your own.

I tighted (almost closed) the valves/ register under the sink in order to adjust the water flow. I believe the faucet is designed to provide a lot of water.

I had trouble with that too. You have to be very careful as the alignment of it very precise. If you don't do it exact you will hit the valve and it will release water. Do this just temporary. Put the whole thing on your kitchen counter top so that you can see it closer. Do this with no water in the tank just to practice. You will see what has to be lined up to keep from hitting the valve to soon. Practice putting the tank in place. This will let you see how precise you have to be to not hit the valve to soon. Now put the unit back on the floor and go thru the motions you just learned. You got to be patient. Hope this will help you. Al

It's probably coming from the air gap. If so, the drain line from the RO faucet to the sink drain has an obstruction. Previous responders have coverd this well.

Disconnect the power source. Remove the sink insert and shine a flash light inside the unit. You should be able to sight the item that is jamming up your unit. Pu your hand inside if it is small enough and the power is disconnected and remove the item. If your hand will not fit you will have to improvised with a tool that will work to remove the item. I hope that this will assist you.

To keep the valve from sticking, remove the filter from your faucet first. Unscrew the cartridge and blow any water out of the valve pin area, dry with a paper towel. Using a wooden toothpick, apply a small amount of grease down into the valve pin area, while pulling and rotating the valve to work grease in. Doesn't take much, don't overdo it. Wipe any excess away with a Q-tip. Valve now moves freely. Re-install cartridge and install back on faucet.

If you are referring to the valve, you can get a nice stainless one from lowes or any hardware store, take it off and take it with you

Put in a layer of coarse gravel on the bottom so soil won't plug drain holes and water can move from soil through the gravel to drain holes. Tom

The cardboard (aka "fiber") gasket *is* actually part of the drain assembly. Do not discard it. It prevents friction between the rubber gasket and the pressure cup or lock ring. The cardboard gasket slides on just below the rubber gasket, which should be up against the underside of the sink. (I know this is a bit late in answer to your question, and I hope you got good advice back in October, but in case future shoppers have the same question...)

plumbers tape, and tighten it down before the weight of the trailer is on it, that will help to keep pressure on it so it doesn't losen

That's where I keep mine. I've kept it under the sink for years. no other damage except water spots since I use it after my shower in the morning. Still works like new.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily.Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

go to a hardware store and ask for a hose adapter for you sink faucet. Be extremely careful about using it inside! The hose I bought burst and sprayed water everywhere. Lucky for me, it was outside. These hoses, to be quite blunt, SUCK!

This alone won't help. It is mainly for adding to compost. I would try putting a screen over the intakes of your drains to keep the needles out completely.
