Should have come with a booklet, I would recommend running through it. I got one and the booklet helped a lot

Are you gonna hook it directly to a spigot or will you need an adapter to run it from a kitchen/bathroom faucet?

Most likely kitchen...already snowing here, so not gonna get much use outta spigot

You're gonna need to buy an adapter for your faucet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BHZLR4K/ref=psdc_3226853011_t1_B000KKOYSY

Home Depot, Lowe's, hardware stores all sell them or similar.

You can use one of these to tap into the cold water supply of a kitchen or bathroom sink, it's easier if they are a flex hose supply line not a rigid copper pipe.

I used this with a ball valve in the rodi water supply to easily turn it off and on. I would stick the waste line in the sink overflow when it was running.

My current setup is off the cold water washing machine supply line in the laundry room, so that's another option with a different fitting
