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.

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!!

Definately incorporate a float valve. It'll be the best $15.00 you've spent. If your furnace is equipped with a humidifier, "T" into the supply line for that to supply the RO unit. As mentioned, use a ball valve there to disable the system for servicing. I'd avoid using the fittings which pierce pressurized lines...

You know I never though about going into the humidifier supply line, that is a heck of a great idea!!
