Connecting RODI under the sink. Help!

Turn clockwise I’m assuming?

Correct

done! Wasn’t too bad.. looks like the pressure is only reaching about 38psi.. that’s low isn’t it?

YAAAYYYY!!!!! 38 PSI is rather low, it will produce water just not efficiently. You can purchase a booster pump for $85ish that will solve any PSI issues if you like.

Lucky me, I already have a booster pump [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] wasn’t sure if I was going to need it or not. Okay so now it’s onto hooking up the pump and then running some line to the sink and piercing that hole and I should be done! That’ll be for tomorrow tho [emoji23][emoji23]

All good! Make sure you flush the carbon block until any residue stops coming out BEFORE running water through your system entirely.

Are there any disadvantages to running the drain line right out to my yard? Like there’s an old cable line running into this room from outside that I could rip out and then direct the drain line outside. I told my girl about running the line across the kitchen to under the sink and she wasn’t thrilled about it lol

If you screwed it to the underside of the kickplate on the cabinets you will barely if ever see it. The real disadvantage is if your making 100 Gallons of water, your pouring 400 Gallons of water into the yard probably turning it into a soupy mess lol, a rain barrel would help but the drain is still the best route.

That’s what I thought about after I posted it.. my lawn would be flooded lol

So I still haven’t gotten around to finishing this up bc of work and the holidays.. but would I want to drill my drain line right about here @Josh H ?

 

[JoshH]

Thats right, anywhere between the two yellow lines

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Awesome that’s what I thought, thanks man! Almost done!

 

[Sobo's Reef]

well you can see the line a little bit in the kitchen but I think it looks good enough. Under the sink installation was a breeze. Turned on my faucet to check for leaks and got nothing so I guess we’re good!!

Looking good! Time for some pure water! Congrats on getting it all set up!

Yess!! Thank you for all your help Josh, I really appreciate it!

Now I just have to mount my booster pump and get that hooked in line, maybe change my filters and blow out the lines and I should be good!!

Now onto the next project.. how to put an outlet in this room [emoji848][emoji848][emoji1751]‍[emoji3603]

Any time, Feel free to PM me if you would like some help with the outlet, a fair bit tricker than the plumbing but can still be done. Given that you rent the place it might be advisable to ask your landlord if they are okay with you adding an outlet. A couple plumbing fittings is one thing but altering the electrical system in a home is a little different.

Actually i think I’m good. The bulb fixture has an outlet adapter on it!

I hooked up an extension cord that’ll allow me to hook up my booster pump and power head for the brute can! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

 

[Sobo's Reef]

boom! From 20psi to 70psi!!

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Quick question. Once I change the filters and DI and flush it, that’ll all come out the waste line correct?
