Ro/di

[EPopper]

Looking for an RO/Di and an issue has come up. All of the RO's I have seen have a threaded intake. All of our faucets are new and aren't threaded, other than our outside hoses. I live in Ohio, so using an outdoor hose is not always an option. Are there other ways to hook these up to inside faucets?

I had my old one hooked up at the water line. I had to go to Lowes and fine a piece that connected with the flex tubing as a T from the water line. It worked with no issues.

Take a pic of the end of the faucet where the water comes out.

I've got one of these https://m.ferguson.com/product/linc...e=&network=g&gclid=CN3hqqrIvsoCFdUSHwoddfoBUw

You unscrew the aerater from the faucet and the threads are on the inside of the end of the faucet. They come in really specific sizes so you want to bring the aerater to homedepot to find a matching hose thread adapter.

Or you can tee off the line where your faucet connects to the house pipe with a kit from brs. You unscrew the faucet inlet and put a tee thing with a hose threaded connection between the pipe and the faucet.

This gives you an extra shut off.

Hello fellow Ohio-an! Are you completely adverse to replacing the threaded fitting with a saddle valve? Not sure exactly where or how you plan on setting up the unit but that may be a better option for you. Easy, quick and cheap.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think we have it figured out. There is a valve at the main water supply that we can use. The only issue is that there is no way to regulate the temperature from there, so we will have to heat each bucket before using.

EPopper,
You say buckets, RO units do better the longer they run.
You should fill@ least a 20 gallon container each time you run it to prevent scaling of the membrane.

Id recommend a manual flush kit for your unit if it doesnt have an auto or manual one already
