Another RO thread

Ya, BTW, there is 2 types of ferrules, copper and plastic. Plastic can be used on copperand plastic lines, But Copper ferrules only for copper pipe. THey damage plastic pipe

also, shouldn't use copper for any lines carrying the "made" water...

Anyone know who carries these? Can't seem to find them.

Also: Is there another way to connect my RO unit to the water supply? I find the saddle valves unreliable.

I went to the local Plumbing store. Just permanantly mounted my RO yesterday. You may have to ask about the plastic ferrules, most fittings I found came with copper, they had plastic ones in some jars behind counter. I also dont like Saddle valves, especially on plastic main lines. I got a T fitting, that has a similar connection to the RO lines, only larger. Cut pipe, insert T and tighten, was that simple

I get mine from Home Depot... in the plumbing area for all the small guage PVC connectors... it's usually close to the irrigation systems
