HOW do I setup my RODI?

[WilliamH2529]

So I have this issue where with both of my faucets I’m not sure they even have a thread I’m capable of accessing? I live in an apartment with a sink bathroom faucet and a kitchen faucet neither which seem like something I’m able to screw into? How would I even go about setting up a reverse osmosis setup in this situation?

#WelcometoR2R!!! Many faucets will have an aerator that unscrews and can be temporarily replaced with an adapter like this one from an online retailer:



This will adapt the faucet to a garden hose style thread (there are different threads and styles that connect to your faucet so pick carefully). Once you have the adapter in place then you can connect your RODI supply line to the faucet. Often the RODI-to-garden hose adapter will come with your RODI system, but if not it can be purchased from online retailers like this one:

I used this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/chrome-faucet-diverter-valve.html
You may need to buy the adapter shown above, it may be one of two sizes. The aerator on mine took a pair of pliers. to get loose the first time.

If you’re aerator doesn’t thread off you should also be able to install a tee where the water line for the faucet attaches to the plumbing coming from the wall/floor. It also keeps the rodi plumbing under the sink and less of an eye sore

as @Gtinnel posted an angle stop valve adaptor is a good way to hook up under the sink. The sink is still usable while making water.

I had no idea that was what that fitting was called.

You could buy a dedicated drinking water faucet but would have to drill a hole for it
