How to hook up RODI to this?

CoralsAddiction · Feb 25, 2018

I’d like to hook up my Spectrapure to this faucet. I can’t make the opening in it for an adapter which I have. What should I do?
Here’s the adapter that I’ve used:

Well,
I run my RO/DI unit off a faucet too. Not the most efficient way to run an RO/DI, but it works.

Unless anybody else has a better suggestion:

Need to take your fittings to Home Depot and buy a new faucet that will work.

You should be able to remove that screen section which should then give you access to the threads inside that faucet spout. Once you see these threads, you should be able to find an adapter possibly.

That inner piece (screen) should unscrew then you need a hose adapter like this

To screw in and then attach ro/di with hose adapter

Excellent idea, especially if any adapter can't be found for the faucet. I haf s terrible time finding an adapter to fit a sink where I use a python house system!

That’s the thing....I’ve struggled to removed the screen section but I only tried using my fingers, no tools.

Squid,
I might want to go that route.

I thinking I'd get more water pressure than using the faucet. What's your thoughts?

Who's the faucet manufacturer? Might need a special tool to remove it but it has to be removable for cleaning. I'd check their website to see if you can find out how to remove it.
