I'd like to mount my 5-stage RODI up off the ground and at eye-level for maintenance, but I'm confronted with a lack of available wall space.

Anyone have some creative ideas how to mount an RODI filter, but not on a wall? :)

So everyone mounts their system on a wall? Nobody has done differently?? :)

I have mine under the sink. I've seen many run their RODI units off water feed for the washing machine too. If you are limited on space like me, I'd go for under the sink. I have a saddle on the side of the sink without the garbage disbosal which drains the waste water, and a t off the angle stop that feeds the cold water to the sink.
 
It can be mounted anywhere. Mine is mounted to the side of a plastic sink in the garage. Quote, "Necessity is the mother of invention". Look around and find a space what works... There are too many variables to consider without being there...
 
Right now it just sits in top of the 44-gallon Brute can it fills up.

The problem is that all the finished stick-frame wall space is logistically no good for mounting, and the little bit of cinder block wall that's available is well-above eye level and has moisture issues so I'm not in a hurry to add more holes anyway.

A stand is one option I've had in mind, but Alibaba is about the only place I've seen them for sale...don't need 1000 of them. ;)

May end up building one, but was hoping for maybe a new/better idea...

I have mine mounted on 2x4's in my unfinished basement. Where is your RODI going to be?

Do you mean an unfinished wall, or something different? Pics?

Thanks!

I have some floor supports in my basement, one is two 4x4s together, and there is a garden hose spigot on the side of the support. There is also a drain about 4 feet away. I mounted mine eye level on the support.
