RO unit help!

[Chiefmaster30]

So I ordered a 4-Stage ro/di unit from premium aquatics. Received it and it only came with an adapter to hook it up to my water hose. Anyone have any ideas on the type of adapter I need to go buy to get this installed in my house instead of outside?

Depends on where you want it plugged in.

SpectraPure and Bulk Reef Supply sell adequate adapters for RO/DI units. Some local hardware stores might sell what you need also.

Agree with @reeferfoxx . I have mine hooked up to the slop sink in the laundry room.....which is a "hose" fitting.

I went to Lowes/Homedepot/Hardware store and picked up a "Y" adapter for Garden hose. I hooked up my RODI in the laundry room, by using that "Y" on the cold water side for washer hook up. Basically left side goes to RO, and right side goes to wash machine. Bonus is hose adapter has a shut off. Kind of a double fail safe. Hope this helps or give you some kind of idea.

I used this to hook up to my laundry room sink...

I moved my RODI unit to get the supply from under a bathroom sink so I now use a John Guest "T" (I got mine from BRS $10)

That's about every option I've seen other then the saddle valve and they make me nervous. Here's mine... Do yourself a favor, on top of float valves and ASOV get yourself a fancy,hi tech timer like mine.

This is how i setup mine under my sink in kitchen. Got the feed line connection from BRS hooked up the waste to my drain by getting a drain fir a dishwasher and glued in a John guest connection in there and put a check valve just in case. Works like a charm. Its all hooked up on a 5g container with high and low float and solenoid so i do not get any TDS creep any not going directly in my sump. Awesome i love the way it works.

#Alyee5 the kitchen sink diverter was my first idea. I went to every hardware store in my town yesterday and no one had that kitchen sink diverter adapter.

Thanks y'all! I noticed everyone recommended the y adapter and all of yalls pics show the copper one. Home Depot had the copper y adapter and a cheaper I think "Zinc" one. Me trying to save a buck or 2 went ahead and bought the zinc one. Was that a bad idea? Or does it matter?

Yeah, I got mine with the BRS RO/DI unit...ordered separately it's about $10...I don't think zinc vs copper will matter...your RO/DI unit should be taking care of incoming metals anyway!

The brass wye with individual ball valves is well worth the cost difference. The zinc version will quickly start pitting and eroding inside. Keep an eye on it.
