What's the best way to do RODI in an apartment?

[MarieH]

I bought an aquasafe ro/di unit and a kitchen faucet converter. I just plug into the kitchen faucet. One line down the drain, one to the litchen tap and one to my bucket. It takes about 30 minutes to make 5 gallons. free tds meter too. Easy to set up. No drilling pipes. aquasafe.com (free shipping)

I couldn't see that filter producing quality water (if it even can) for very long. You can get faucet or hose attachments for the inlet on an RODI unit, and so you basically screw on the adapter and hook up the unit. Then when you're done you can just tuck the unit away somewhere. You can also get RO water from Superstore (at least where I am)

I am finally jumping onto the RO/DI water train and ordered a unit a few days ago. I didn't do it sooner because I also didn't want it connected to my sink. Turns out you can get a faucet adapter that will hook up to the outlet of your faucet. There is also a garden hose adapter. Wish I knew this sooner. Good luck!

Any tips or suggestions this way would be great! Thanks.

If you don't want to plumb a rodi unit. You can buy the water or use a product called prime :/ to be honest. Ro/di is by far the best

I purchased an RODI unit used from a guy and he had it mounted to a piece of plywood, move it into place fill up your water, then unhook and put it away, easy....I am actuLly considering hooking it up semi-permenantly in my laundry room for ease of use, and I have the extra space in there to boot.

good luck

My RO/DI from Bulk Reef Supply came with an attachment that lets you screw it onto a standard faucet. No plumbing required

You can get RODI units fairly cheap, and they don't need to be permanently installed. You can get adapters that screw into your faucet, so you can store it, and then take it out and use it when you need. I can't see that tap water filter working nearly as well as a proper RODI system, but it's better than nothing. On a tank your size, you could probably get away with weekly five gallon water changes, depending on your bioload. If that's the case, most Superstores sell RO water, and so you could just fill one jug every week and make do with that.
