what's cheaper?

Yes you can if you need to..
In my old house I had a hose faucet in the garage and hooked up there...

Only issue is that if it freezes there in the winter well.... that doesn't mix well..

My current system is hooked up in the laundry room using the water hookups there..

Buy quality fittings... I used a garden hose adapter in my laundry room and it didn't end well

Ya having it just outside in my backyard will be most convenient as my laundry is upstairs.

You can pretty much tap in wherever you have a water line as well quite easy. Im currently running mine under my bathroom sink until I finish building my mixing station in the basement which will be directly under my tank on the first floor. Pump with good head pressure plumbed to mix and turn a valve to pump into the tank means no more carrying buckets soon for me

My storage barrel is right nest to my hot water heater so I just sweated a faucet into the copper going in to it and run the ro/di from there. I also ran a line after the prefilters up to the refridgerator so I don't have to buy $35 filters for it anymore.

And I'll give a shout out to Russ and the crew at www.buckeyehydro.com I had questions about what I needed so I sent an email on a Saturday morning hoping to have a reply by the following Wednesday or so. About 10AM Saturday Russ called! We spent about 45 minutes talking. He answered all my questions so I ordered what he suggested right then. It was at my door on Monday.

A bit old, but still relevant.
It will always be cheaper to have your own unit.

SO can I hook up the RODI system to the hose faucet I have outside my house?

Yes or you could use this adapter for hooking it up from the water line under your sink. They are also avail in metal.
