I have a SeaChem Ro Pinnnacle, this is the model w/out the DI part, and just recently got a DI cannister and media from Bulk Reef Supply as well as a RO flush kit... here is the problem. I hooked everything up and all good but the DI cannister never fills up all the way. Also, it doesnt look like it ever shuts of.. I am getting 0 TDS but its just not stopping making water. I didnt have this problem before I put the DI on there but in part, i think it is also the fact that the DI never completely fills up, yet, water still comes out of the float valve in to the trash can which holds the fresh RO/DI water... what am I doin wrong here?

I thought the same thing for a while regarding the canister not filling up. The DI cartridge that I have has holes on the bottom for the water to flow up through. Once in the canister the water flows up the cartridge and out the tube. Never "fills up" the canister and hasn't been an issue for me at all. My unit is 60gpd so maybe the higher flow units fill the canister out.
You have now an airpocket in the RODI line, when the floatvalve closes it now has to to build up pressure to close the feedline:
This will take much longer now because the air in the DI canister can be compressed and therefor won't build up pressure as fast.
