The washing machine connects to one side and the hose thread adapter on the RO/DI inlet fits on the other. With the built in ball valves you can isolate one line or the other for maintenance or just shut the RO off if you choose. Doesn't get any simpler than that, I have been using this fitting for almost 20 years now.
Get a bronze garden hose wye like this:

They have them at any hardware store or WalMart. Pull the washing machine out and install it on the cold water line so it feeds the washer and the RO/DI. When you run the waste line make sure it isn't jammed down the drain, place it so it is either suspended above the drain or just barely in it so there is no chance of backflow. Or there are a lot of air gap devices such as some pictured here and some of the newer wall boxes behind the washer have a built in place for an RO waste line with an air gap to meet code.

Move the unit in the home and its much easier to hook the RO only side to a drinking water kit, icemaker and refrigerator drinking water tap in the door. Getting dual use out of the RO/DI make it a much easier sell to the boss! We have had RO drinking water for over 15 years now and the clear ice cubes it makes are amazing.
