Question:

<< How simple is an R.O. Unit to
install? I am especially interested in how to tap into the water supply.
Is it like a refrigerator tap etc? >>

RO INSTALLATION TIPS:

It is fairly simple. You have a small attachment that you place on the cold water pipe under the sink, you then "twist" a little butterfly type nut (called a saddle valve) all the way down to pierce the pipe and then unscrew it back out to receive water to the R.O. You also need a small hole in the sink for the additional faucet (the size of the sprayer hole or a bit less, you can even use the sprayer hole if you don't normally use the sprayer). Your local hardware store sells a "drill bit" for your household power drill for about $12-$15 that will easily drill the hole for you.

Then there is a little thing called a drain saddle that you attach to the drain under the sink to carry the waste water away... That's about it. Average install time is approx. 30 minutes, 20 if you know what you are doing, 45-60 minutes if you're a bit on the slow side:)

We also want you to realize that an installation helper (or tech), will be right there on the phone with you to help if you need it. We will even pay for the call...

If you want to run the water to the fridge (which is usually the next question), just put a "T" (we have them for about $2) in the product water line (the one that brings clean water up to the faucet) and run it to the back of the fridge. Be sure NOT to use a copper line unless absolutely necessary so the you don't get a copper taste after the water has sat in the water line all night...

Thank you

WARNING: When it comes to water treatment equipment you should NEVER do business with ANY company who does not have the same certifications as we do. It is just plain crazy. There are so many "Fly by night" companies out there that it should be the very FIRST rule in your decision making process. It is your first, and some times ONLY, line of defense. Just look at our home page to see our many appropriate certifications. You will find them all in the top third of the page.
