RO Filter install

I want to change my RO filters, but I'm a little confused. I watched a how to clip, & it shows the sediment on the right, then 2 carbons. Mine has sediment on the left then 2 carbons. Which is correct? What can happen if their wrong? Thanks

We have no idea what RO system you have, and what matters is which filter water goes into first. Sediment filters are always the first stage as the water supply enters the system. Whether that is right or left on your system is anyone's guess.

Kind of like people asking whether it's a left or a right with regard to directions - without a reference point, that question cannot be answered. If X didn't get you through this, I would post some pics.

Follow the incoming water line. Looks to me like incoming water comes into the sediment filter on the left side first. Drinking water goes out the 5th stage filter on the blue line.

That's what I was hoping for, thanks.
