So this is what I am dealing with in the utility room. Does it bother anyone else that the thing is crooked....
Anyways, if I can rent some pex crimpers and such for a reasonable amout, I have no issues with using those over the sharkbites.
I was hoping to put the rodi on the vertical line before the make-shift manifold they have in there, or the horizontal line below it.
I would throw in a pex x pex - comp T with a valve, and then run an extra long rodi line across to where I want to set up my water containers. I want to deal as little with the pex as possible.
In the mean time, I have my rodi plumbed in under my bathroom sink.
