Hi there,

Recently bought an RO/DI unit, but I'm struggling to figure out what adapter/diverter I need to buy as I'm not very plumbing-savvy. I need to find a way to connect my source tube to this ~25mm (1") faucet, while also allowing water to run through to my washing machine via the hose in the 3rd picture. What do you guys suggest? Thanks in advance :D

p.s. my RO/DI unit came with a 3/4" to RO/DI source tube adapter, if that's of any use

If u can find a metal pipe to fit the spicket u can use a saddle valve. Saddle valve are what I always use in hard lines. Brass are common and cheap. Any HD or Lowes.

Thanks for the tip! Heading to my hardware store today, so I'll keep an eye out.
 
I would just use a Y-adapter for the washer and RODI unit.

The white hose at the bottom is coming from the spigot. The gray line off the Y-adapter to the right goes to the washing machine and the small black line off the left goes to the RODI. That way I can also shut off the washer or the RODI lines for maintenance individually.
 
Y adapter like mentioned. I picked this one up from the local hardware store. I had to use two due to the dryer needing to be hooked up as well.
