So how much do you all think a plumber would charge to show me how to best hook up my RoDI?

I need to hook it up in the garage. We have connections already for a softener system (came with the house). I have no idea how they’re plumbed and what the best way to connect my unit is. I know I need to plumb it in upstream of the softener thing. But beyond that idk.

maybe I’ll take some pics this evening and see if any of you could walk me through it
I have a idea, since my neighbor owns a plumb co and I wanted to hook my rodi up and fill the 300.
He said just go to home depot and get a part that screws on the water softner loop,since I have a hose bib so I can wash the cars in soft water. it look like the end of a garden hose. It was like $4.
I did this for now until I put one in the garage. When I do I will put a hose end on the water line so I can shut it off or turn it on when needed.

very interesting. Here’s a quick sketch of what I’m working with to last until I can get home and take some pics.

Acted very confused, like didn’t know what R2R was or who I was.

LOL, yup will definitely need phone pics. :rolleyes: looks like you setting up a beer tap :p

Yeah. The funny thing is that’s about how it looks in the garage. And thus my uncertainty as to how I should set up my RODI lol

That’s sad. Why were you not impressed? If you reach out to POTO via email you should be able to work out whatever the issue is. They have great customer service.

Have to wait for zoas to open , attached is what I got, just very small sps frag and I let them know in the email before my order about the live sale / free frag giveaway but still did not receive. They said they will put in with my next order but I’m afraid the same thing will happen so I’m not ordering again
