u attaching to the faucet or direct to the water line under the sink?

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

they email directions to you with it that would be the best place to start

i wanted to attach to the faucet which would of been easier. but theres a silver thing thats like a little smaller than the faucet. what should i do. theres a gold thing that looks like it punctures sumthing.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

dude those direction suck cant understand em

 

[zahner]

does the silver thing look like this? this just screws onto the end of your faucet. on my faucets, I have to first unscrew the little piece that has the mesh screen in it.

Heres some pics of how you hook the unit up. I've got the same faucet adapter as zahner.

Where can I get this silver thing locally? I need one...

 

[zahner]

mine came with the unit, but a plumbing supply place ought to have them

Any hardware or plumbing store including Home Depot and Lowe's. DEFINITELY take the current aerator from your faucet to match up thread sizes!! :banghead:

Thanks zahner and dean. I'll check with HD tomorrow.

What I got is a needle piercing valve, but it doesn't fit with the water line under my sink. I think tonyscoot might have the same problem.

My unit should be in this Monday. Do you think it would be easier to attach it straight to the cold water pipe underneath the sink?

 

[zahner]

i think the faucet adapter is easier, the needle piercing valve is more permanent. plus it looks like more potential for leakage

ok guy here is how i hooked mine up from aquasafe.. first shut off the main valve under the sink.. now look under the sink . see that hose that connects to the water to the faucet valve have 1 hot and 1 cold. on the cold valve. hook up the new t it look like the old one with just to valves. the second valve should be a 1/4 of a inch. that one connects to the rodi unit. the other one to the faucet for the sink.. also you have to drill a hole into the pipe right under the drain from the sink.. before the elbow.. for the waste line. you will get a black pieace of plastic where the waste hose drains into the drain of the sink.. the whole thing should take 15 mins...

yea i never got the adapter that has that red tube on it. so what i did i remembered that i had the exact same thing for my other filter downstairs. so i took the extra one and hooked it up. thanks again guys. just made my 1st 5 gallons of rodi water gonna do a water change and then make another 5 gallons.

 

[Tonyscoots84]
