My next question is what to put on outside wall where the line is going to go in.

Bumping this up bc I need to do this coming from outside wall to inside wall for RODI setup. Some helpful ideas already in this thread.

My next question is what to put on outside wall where the line is going to go in.

I just did that today. Now outside for me is in the garage were my R/O unit is. The R/0 line runs through my attic. I did use one line with no splices from point A to point B.

Are you talking out side of the house?

I can now fill my 20 gallon ATO tank with out lugging 5 gallon jugs across the house. Easy = happy.

Yeah. Running the line from an outside spigot.

Following as I’ll be either running tubing through an interior wall (one side to the other)

or from inside the garage to inside the house

Lowe’s has this Corrugated Blue Tubing and Connectors to go to a Blue PVC Electrical Box. It’s easy to snake through a wall. It’s in the Electrical Section, and intended for Speaker Wire and Low Voltage Cable. Use a Wall plate with a hole in it.

Just drill the right size hole in a standard wall plate and run the line straight through the wall no connections.

This is an incredible setup.

I have two questions

1.) How did you mount that RO/DI unit to the wall? What is that plate? I'm very very interested

2.) How did you fish the tubing line through the wall?

My RODI unit is on the other side of a wall from the aquarium so I'd like to run just a few feet of tubing through the wall to go directly to the ATO res

I used a zip box and just a blank wall plate that had a single 3/8" (or so) hole... when we move a blank plate will be installed and the line abandoned in the wall
