Thats what I did and it works really well. There should be a drain close to your hot water tank (provided you HWT is close to where you want the install done) that you can use for your waste water dump.

The floor drain is about 4 feet away from where I think I could mount the unit so I hope that should work. :)

Got mine in the furnace/sump room as well works great for the last 2 years.

Using 1/4" line and JG fittings, from the output of the ro/di unit I have a tee. One side goes to a mini ball valve then a line long enough to reach where I store my mix barrel and for other uses. The other side of the tee goes to another mini valve then a float valve for ATO in my sump.

Have a 1/2" line tee'd into the drain for the furnace (Hi-efficiency furnace with line to floor drain) which I just put the 1/4" waste water line from the ro/di into. By having the ro/di waste line loose, I can just pull it out of the 1/2" line for a quick check or ever want to measure waste ratio.

Use the piercing valve to source water for the ro/di unit from the copper line that supplies the HWT.

I know how you feel, Greg. I had new kitchen taps sitting around for 3 months and a R.O unit sitting around for a month. Finally got around to installing them over the Christmas break.

I went with the water spout setup installed under the Kitchen sink since my tanks are in a room without a water supply. Also made it easier to justify since we can use it for drinking water as well as for the tanks. Other than about 5 trips to Home Depot the installation was fairly easy.

I need to fill 5 gallon water jugs in the kitchen and carry them to the tanks. Last night I forgot I had the tap on and overflowed a water jug all over the kitchen floor. Oops.

I have mine setup so the lines are long enough for me to put the 5 gallon jug in the kitchen sink. I set up a timer for myself as well, but if the jug overflows it just goes down the drain. I just got my unit, and have only filled 2 jugs, and already overflowed one for an hour. LOL! Good thing for the sink... :D

I used to fill 5 gal totes and carry them downstairs. I recently got smart, went to HD and bought a dehumidifier float valve, a bit of 1/4" tubing, a T, and a small ball valve. Now, the line goes downstairs, and filling is easy!

I never thought of that:redface:
The system's pressurized so can push water up. I can put the jug in the sink instead of on the floor.

Thanks

Ya, I put my RO in the sink,and bucket on the counter. Will plumb in one day.....

If you want to hook it up to a float valve I can help you out with that....I'm wicked at the plumbing aspect of this hobby!!
