plumbing rodi unit

[sergifed91]

I have tried multiple ways of plumbing my rodi unit in my basement.

I am fed up with replacing the parts and wasting water because the parts only last upwards of a year.

this is what im leaning towards now. looking for ideas also.

Watts® AquaLock™ 1/2" Push to Connect x 1/4" Compression Lead-Free Brass Tee Valve

What parts are failing within a year?

Some pictures and more details on what is failing? I would avoid anything metal or you potentially will have metals in your water. Brass = copper and zinc.

HD, Lowes - John Guest plastic push loc fittings are nearly indestructible.

I use a hose y with shut off from Menards. The seal only lasts around a year.

Installed onto what in your basement?

Pictures would be super helpful

8+ years on my system and I've replaced nothing but filters and membrane. I have plastic shutoffs at several locations including the tee before the di resin that goes to my fridge and drinking faucet.
Maybe a pic to see exactly what is failing. I have tees / splitters but none with a built in shut off like your describing. It may be a simple fix if you can show us what is needed

Assuming you're using a Y for a standard hose bib and then an adapter on your rodi tubing? I had the same problem with those Ys. I ended up cutting a new bib into my main just after the shut off valve

Hard water?

Hard water?

If its after the ro it wouldnt matter but before it may.
Like others have said some pics or diagram of what is being described would be helpful.

I currently use the y adaptor. Where I have the washer hooked up to. I'm either going to plumb it with my ice maker or add another coupling to add the rodi unit with a push to connect to turn it off and on.
