I would suggest you pack an overnight bag, and sleep in a hotel for a couple days to let her simmer down. Leave a bouquet of red roses and a note that just says, "I'm sorry. I love you. Be back in a few days."

When she gets home take her out to dinner at a very exceptive one at that and say I'm sorry but I have to leave you before you see our basement. pay for dinner and drop her off at the house stay in a hotel. By the way you have to have a suitcase packed in the trunk of the car. leave her a note explaining that you will never flood the house again to do so you are going to have the ro unit mounted in the basement permanently. You can run a 1/4" line upstairs from the RO unit with a shutoff valve on it.

Bill

P.S. if she finds where you are before she calms down you are dead or she is a very forgiving women and then you want to make sure you keep her.

Only way out is to lie, honestly will only screw you.

Break the water line under the sink so it looks like a faulty part or something. Then it wouldn't technically be your fault.

Or tell her you slipped in the shower on one of HER special soaps knocking yourself unconscious while clogging the drain with your foot. You almost drowned but luckily you awoke right before your head was submerged. Unfortunately some water overflowed the basement but at least you're OK!!

At the height of my panic, this seemed like a really good way out. But then I started to worry about damaging the tank
