RODI Buddy

[MadReefer]

I received this today. I want to start making water for a change this weekend. It comes with a faucet adapter but it's to big for my faucet but fits the one outside for my garden hose. What do I need to fit this on my kitchen sink? Pics of part to follow; have to load from phone.

take a photo to lowes and they can get you the right adapter. Here is the adapter I got with mine from BRS

Hallelujah!
Just be sure with the RO buddy that you push the tubes into the connectors tightly. You should feel a second sort of sliding before it fully sets, then gently pull a bit and place ring washer on.
I had a leak and the tube not being set correctly on set up was the cause.

Thanks for the tip Mark. I checked Lowe's and Homedepot sure and did not see anything that would work. Supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow so will start making water outside.

bulk reef supply and Air water and ice would have that part

Do you have a plumbing store nearby? If not just ordered the part from BRS

this is how I did mine in my laundry room it's just Y you would use on your garden hose outside with the shut off valve for each side. Got it at Lowe's. Oneside is rodi and the other is my washing machine.

Laundry room ties into my fridge with same splitter.
Thanks

Phil, it's to bug for the faucet. Think I found one in Amazon.
Thanks

Not sure which one to purchase. Would be nice to keep adapter attached to faucet all the time. I still need to remove the hose and store the unit.
First one is what I was sent just smaller size. Any opinions?

Flushing out the unit now and should be making water in about 30mins.

 

[MadReefer]

Water params:
Tap - 160
RO - 2
RODI - 30

I don't understand why it jumped to 30. Did I not let the DI resin flush enough?

 

[Mrx7899x]

It's come out at 30 instead of 0

 

[MadReefer]

Correct

 

[MadReefer]

I took the hose and put it into a glass directly and tested and it's 0.
I assume that the cartridge did not filter enough at first or its the bucket. I scoped some water from the plastic bucket when I tested before.
Thanks everyone seems I'm good now.
