Best way to set up RO/DI

[srb]

Just curious as to where everyone has their RO/DI units set up to make water changes and top offs easy. My aquarium is in my office upstairs and I have a bathroom in the bedroom near my office and I thought about setting it up in there if I can hide the mess from my wife. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Mine is set up in the garage, with a 40 gallon food grade storage container next to it. I also ran a line under my house, through the wall to my tank for top/off.

Not sure how you would want to do yours upstairs. Perhaps putting the unit under the sink provided it's not a pedistal sink. You'd still want some kind of storage container IMO so that you have water on demand and not always have to wait when you're ready.

mine is just outside the backdoor on the patio with two 38 gallon rubbermaid brute barrels on a flatbed handtruck next to it and a third barrel next to the cart for the waste water ( I have to use something to water the plants) when I do a water change I wheel in the cart do the change and wheel it back out again when I am done.

Mine is under my sink in the bathroom nearest to the tank. I just have a 25' piece of tubing hooked up to it and fill up my buckets in the bathtub.

Mine is stored in spare closet. I set it on the bathroom counter, I hook it to the sink fill a 65 gal tank and put it away.

Mine is mounted on the wall next to my washing machine in the basement. That way all my waste water goes to the washing machine. Then I just throw clothes in and do laundry.

I have mine mounted under the sink in our master bathroom. I ran a line through the wall to a storage container in the furnace room on the other side of the wall.

at the store we have toilet float switches in the sumps with water being fed from ro/di unit.
