So I picked up two 35 gallon water storage containers this weekend for 50 bucks each and want to make a mixing station in my garage where I can pump salt water to my tank for water changes. Right now my RODI is installed under a bathroom sink in the guest bathroom, but I would like to move it to the garage with the mixing station. Luckily my house had a water softener installed at some point (was disconnected when I bought it the house) so I have some existing plumbing connections to work with, and a drain! See below.
I am assuming what is there now is PEX pipe, it's fairly rigid, not like a standard hose. I plan on cutting it at the wall and providing elbows so that the new plumbing runs flush to the wall. My question is, what should I plumb with? I feel like PVC is going to be the easiest for me. I can provide a tee with a 1/4" threaded connection to connect my RODI filter to. I also plan on putting an emergency shutoff valve on the pipe too. See diagram below.
Open to any suggestions! Thanks
