Best adapter to connect RODI to the bathroom faucet?

[Anand_Karat]

Hi Guys,

Looking for insights from you all regarding what would be the best adaptor to connect my aquatic life rodi buddie to the batroom faucet. I stay at a rental property so do not have much options to make changes

Thanks!

They sell hardware at home depot and Lowe's for what you need. You screw off you faucet screen and either screw an extension in or on depending what type of faucet you have.
Best bet is to bring the part with you and have an employee show you where the parts are that you need.

This is what I used. You might want to also consider an adapter for the shower as well.

Thank you for your quick reply. Well I got the same adaptor from Homedepot and used it about 2 times. Now I find that water is leaking.

What about hooking it up to the kitchen sink? The other option is to get an adapter for the shower. IIRC BRS sells one.

I had to use plenty of plumbers tape on the connections to get mine not to leak.
Also may want to consider what other poster said about getting something for shower.
Problem with bathroom faucet is not enough pressure for most as its typically reduced down for main feed coming in and the distributed to faucet under the sink...
If you can figure out a way to do it under the sink before it gets reduced down that will be your best bet.

Haha, I tried getting the aerator off from the kitchen sink. I think its been ages since someone tried to remove it.. I guess its fused on there.
