Hot water through my ro unit!

to the sink Spigot. Im thinking If I buy a new unit I'm going to ignore Hubby and hook it upto the cold water line.

That's the way it should be hooked up

Yes Ignore the hubby,that's my wife's rule of thumb!thing is She's usually right dammit

[magikof7]

It is difficult to hook up to a line when you live in a small place and are facing some major Renos. It is one of the reasons I have been putting it off, that and hubby argued against it, although he didn't really have a reason why not. lol
Until today it works rather well for me as it is.

lol...Us wives are more clever than we get credit for.

Thank you Greg I will add those to the order when I place it. I guess I had better get on the group buy list lol.

I installed one of these valves on my cold line and am really happy with it
Also, if you don't have one, my unit came with this drain saddle setup and it works great. Just be sure you install it above the p trap

That's the ticket for your feed but if you're running the drain/concentrate line to a drain saddle it need to be air gapped to prevent bacteria from crawling back into your RO system.

Mine's setup on an otherwise unused bathroom sink, but could you please elaborate on this ?

By plumbing code it's technically a cross connection.Usage of that drain line doesn't matter since it's still connected to your sewer.On an RO for drinking water you'll find the tap is outfitted with a air gap.

An air gap is usually one inch above flood.for instance if your kitchen sink overflows that water never touches the spigot.
