RODI Puzzle...

[Aaron Shapiro]

Hey all,

Brand new to the hobby, but I am quickly seeing the need for my own RODI setup. My problem is I don't have a utility sink or outlet anywhere. What are you all doing in that case?

One thought I had was to mount in my garage and run a hose in there to it whenever I needed it, OR maybe get a splitter for my cold water inlet off my washing machine?

Any other suggestions I'm missing? Is there such a thing as a hose adaptor for a tub faucet?

Thanks in advance!

I actually had a plumber come and install a tee into one of the exposed water lines in the garage. My RODI tube screws right into it.

Splitting off the washing machines cold water source is also a pretty good option if you don’t want to deal with a plumber etc.

Used garden hose splitter off washing machine spigot. Works just fine. Routed the drain down the washing machine drain as well.

When I first got mine we were renting at the time and I had to come up with a good place to install it. We were at lowes one day and in there clearance section there was an over the toilet cabinet for a really good price. Then it came to me, what a perfect place to leave it permanently installed but still tucked away..

This seems like the ticket to me. I can hang the unit above the washer and dryer then run the clean water line down into a jug or bucket.
