Need RO set up help...

As said, very easy to Tee into a cold supply line. For the waste can use a saddle Tee on the drain line.

Hmmm....ok, I am kind of lost!

I will take pics and see if you guys can help better with them.

should have 3 hoses on your RO unit. A Yellow, Orange and Blue, right? If so, Yellow in supply, or incoming. from the cold water line under the sink. The Orange is the waste water. It goes into the drain and the blue goes to the tanks

Now, depending on what kind of plumbing is in your home, depends on what kind of fittings you need to adapt the RO lines to the house lines. And you need a shutoff on the Yellow line. The cold water is presurized, and without this shutoff, the RO will constantly run.

If you are buying a new ro unit they usually come and supply you with everything you need, I installed mine in about 15mins. Make sure you shut the cold line and then it's basically cake after that. If you are buying a used unit then it still should come with everything you need.

So I have no idea where I would even start!

Yes it is a new unit.

This is what is under my kitchen sink. Any ideas? Is it possible?

To be honest I don't even know which the coldwater line is???

Hahahaha...this could be a bad idea!

The RO/DI unit is the Aquasafe Maximus 100GPD...and comes with no instructions. There is a link to some but it does not work. I did a search around the net and found most people LESS than impressed with Aquasafe and their customer service/instructions.

Anyone have a digital copy for me?

I also found that a lot of people say they are plumbed wrong when you get them. Also that you need to remove the part that adds back TDS for drinking water taste...don't know what this is exactly...

Going to need a bunch of help.

I have used an RO/DI before so when I look at this one, it does make sense but in the past I just used a faucet adapter to hook it up to the tap.

These are the two lines and parts it came with. Not sure how to use them
