I live in a 1 bedroom coop soo I have no where to hookup my unit I just bought it's a coral life 3 stage

Matt,

What I did, was in my bathroom, unscrew the piece that comes from the sink, bring that and the ro/do attachment to a hardware store, and they had the fitting in stock.

The problem, is there is more than one size that can fit. However, there are not many sizes used.

Normally, I would have recommended a home depot or a Lowes, but these guys have been letting me down recently.

That's why, if you call up an on-line vendor like BulkReefSupply, they may possibly send the wrong fitting.

You can't do a faucet adapter?

You could use a faucet adapter, but I'd rather it all under the sink and out of the way

As per reefer, I think it would be wise, for you to get a plumber, to make a hookup under the sink and hidden. This is way better, than having an attachment, that is showing in your bathroom.

Or if you are handy DIY...

My faucet does not have a thread on it it's a plastic pice of crap
Thanks for the link Ming gonna check under my sink to see how this will work

It's called a saddle valve. Just attach the valve to any exposed pipe under ur sink.
( cold water ). With the two screws it will come with. tighten down on the the piercing valve. Make sure u attach ur flex hose to it then open the valve.

I want to add a hose Bibb under the sink so I can remove the rodi when I have too there is no room for it to be permeant under there needs to be stored somewhere else ???

The rodi don't need to be stored under the cabinet. Just the flex line to supply it. The rodi should come with push in fitting so u can remove it any time u wish. U can get a push in ball valve to stop water flow when need be. do u have a maintenance crew in the complex that can install a hose bibb if that is really what u want.

 

[Mattl22]

The reason I want the hose bib is because that is the attachment that came on the rodi I bought used.
Just figured that would be best way to do it? Can u add a hose Bibb using fittings or would it have to be plumbed in ??

Not seeing what u have i would say u would have to plumb it in. Also u would have shut off the main water supply to plumb in the the hose bibb. Can u post a pic of the fitting on the ro and under the the sink that u would like to install it to.

Will do when I get home

Ok so a trip to home depot and 35$ later I've ended up with this seems to. Be working but the rodi is basicly dripping out is this how a 50 gpd should work

Yes it could be very slow depending on the pressure in ru building.
