Hooking up ro unit.

[zchauvin]

My unit from filter guys will be in Monday, is there any way to hook it inline with sink plumbing?

It all depends on what unit you have. Some unit can be installed below sink mount where it's out of site.
I have attached a link to give you an idea.
Hope it helps you.

Thanks Ralph, I'm not sure of how my unit is but I'll put the diagram to good use.

Ok, I got in my ro/di unit and it wants me to drill a hole in the drain for the waste water.. My dads not a big fan lol so how else would I do it? I know I'll need the faucet adapter for sure, a float valve, and some kind of hookup for waste water.. I really don't know where to start so if anyone can show there setups ect... it would be a huge help.

I shoved the waste water output line down the washing machine drain pipe. Works well for me

First were are you putting it? Is it going under a sink? I just ordered one myself, mine is going in the laundry room and the waste line will go directly into the floor drain.I bought an adapter so I can hook mine up to the washer supply line and not tie up the sink at all.

Its going into a spare outside bathroom. I picked up a tee that will go onto cold water feed and then to cold water line while third connection will hook into a 1/4 compression fitting. This will leave the sink and ro unit in use at once. Now I just have to find a top off and/or auto shut off valve. Do I need one or the other or both?

Would one such as this suffice?

Hey gomez, I purchased mine from a local ace hardware and it ran me about 4 bucks. This is what you need.

All you do is slide the inserts into tubing then use the nut and connect to the top 1/4 out and then the other female to cold water valve and lastly the 3/8 out into your line running to faucet. This will work on your cold water line for washing machine as well.

Good thread, I'm thinking of picking up an RO unit this weekend and connecting it to my setup. Was going to try and figure out all the adapters needed but this did the trick. Thanks

The adapter I bought is for a garden hose size not for the under sink line but other then that pretty-much the same. It threads on to the hose connection for my washer then has a 1/4" valved outlet for the ro line , its like a collar with female threads on top male on bottom (for the washer) and the valved port out the side.

Can anyone show me how you put your float valve in your water storage? Im using a brute can and don't know how you would install the float valve. Thanks
