You can get ball valves and extra tubing at Home Depot or Rona. They're called John Guest fittings. If the drone you ask gives you a blank stare (they probably will), just ask where all the refridgerator ice-maker parts are.

The ball valve coming out of the DI chamber is the water I use for my aquarium - pure <1 TDS RO/DI.

ah - okay - so the ball valve would be the blue tipped control valve?

Where the heckfire can I get that?

lol - thanks, I'll head on there tomorrow, and I think I'm going to be safe and bring the parts with me. I remember when these places knew what they were talking about. not so much.

Lastly - the water that runs out from the end of the "taste" filter into your storage tank, that's aquarium water, right? So you can get tank water from either the ball valve or the storage tank - right?

You have no idea how many emails I had to search to find this:mrgreen:

Link to Aquasafe installation instructions.

ours has one line that comes out to a pressurized storage tank, and the other comes out to a hose we use to fill our tanks.

lol - um, would you hate me if I told you I found that last night? :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface:

Everything made sense except for bypassing the taste filter at the very end, that was my only head scratching bit

:crazyeye: LOL aquasafe also has a catalog where you can order valves and stuff... but you prolly already know that :silly:

It's a scary thought to think I'm going to install this thing tomorrow. If you don't hear from me, I probably went all drownedy.
