What's the best way to do RODI in an apartment?

Any tips or suggestions this way would be great! Thanks.

I'm using Vertex Puratek RO with this faucet adapter. I don't use any additional filters and my tds meter shows 0ppm

I have my RODI system hooked up underneath our bathroom sink, there is also a faucet adaptor (you neet to make sure the aerator on your tap can come off, some need keys nowadays).

Since I live in my mom's house, I didn't want to go puncturing cold water lines. All I had to do was get the T adaptor and screw it in between the water line and the copper pipe under the counter.

I got my system from aquasafecanada.

I've been using the faucet adaptor for years. My husband wasn't keen on making holes in our pipes. The adapter works like a charm

I also use a faucet adaptor and love it

This is all super helpful. I think I will grab one of those faucet adapters and a basic RO setup. Thanks everyone!

Faucet adapters are ugly and get in the way... just my two cents. Theres also no need to punch a hole in your water line. Here is a simple inline fitting that can be bought at almost any hardware store and installed under any sink. What you do with the waste water line is the real issue. I personally run mine to the laundry room so that I can use the reject water for washing clothes. Saddles can also be purchased to run the waste line into the drain plumbing. Or I guess you could just loop it over the sink and stuff it down the drain while in use.
