AquaticLife RO Buddie Questions

[TyHoward]

I'm thinking about purchasing the AquaticLife Buddie, but as I was researching I saw that I could either connect it to a garden hose or a threaded utility sink faucet. I was wondering if yall could point me in the right direction for a small home improvement project. Is there a way to add on a hose outlet or something threaded like that inside my bathroom? Just trying to save myself from having to go outside to my garden hose and carry water back and forth every time I do a water change. Thanks!

It's not too hard. I just had to do a couple of runs to Home Depot. (Forgot parts).
I T'd off my cold with a T joint and added a small shut off and 1/4" quick disconnect for RO buddie. Modified my drain pipe to add a quick disconnect for waste water.

I did a diagram first to minimize problems but every time I do any plumbing I always seem to forget something.

Awesome! Sounds easy enough, thank you!

I have mine just Y'ed off my cold line going into my washing machine. I used one of those Y shut offs for garden hoses. The drain line goes into my washing machine drain.

Y shutoff at Home Depot

I use one of these.

I'd save for a budget RO system. It will save you money long run.
