RODI filter help

[xobklynqt143]

heres a few questions for you guy my RODI is hooked up down the basement hence its a pain when it comes to water changes goin up and down with all this water. now is it true if you hook the RODI to your kitchen sink that you will lose the water pressure? and is it hard to put one up because now pending your answers i might just buy another and hook it up myself. :smile:

Do you want to put it up under the sink or above the sink?

If under sink, it better you asked for a professional installer.
If above the sink, the most important part is the parts that is suitable to fit the tap. Some tap has no adapter made to split off to the filter. Show a pic of the tap to the filter vendor, they can find out if they have the parts. You can call Buckeye after you send the pic-waiting for reply by emails from them could mean couple days later. So call after you send the pic.


Yes, if you split off the tap you loose a lot of water pressure and thus, sometimes, you may need a pressure pump and many more auto shut off thingie there after.

I have both LOL One in the basement and 1 under the kitchen sink. The added benefit of it being under the sink is that you have nice clean drinking water as well. Its not hard to do if you decide to go that route. Im not sure about the pressure part but logically if you have it hooked up to your sink and the water wide open you will have the same pressure thats in the rest of your plumbing throughout the house.

my cousin is a plumber and he told me if its under the sink thats how id lose the pressure but what i dont understand is theres a little silver thing that you push down when you want the RODI when you want tap water then you just use the faucet
