| We just moved to salt lake and in our previous apartment I could hook up the unit to a faucet, but the faucets at our new place don't have a removable aerator. I want to hook it up to the shower head, but am not quite sure how to go about it. Any suggestions? Not looking for a permanent solution as we won't be here forever. |

I don't understand. How do you get enough pure water to run to the shower? Aloha, Mark  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Mark, He would be using this to supply the water to the RO/DI unit, this is the solution when you can't pierce a pipe with a saddle tap. Before he would use a simple screw on faucet unit to supply the water to the RO unit. ------------- 74G Mixed Reef 3G Picotope |

 Oh silly me. I got it backwards.At the washing machine, if available, I have used a $5 "Y" faucet adapter from HD/Lowes with a brass reducing adapter, also from HD/Lowes to connect one output end to the RO line. The RO unit hangs on the wall behind the washing machine and a 5 gal bucket fills as it's sitting on top of the machine. If it overfills, the spill simply drains into the washing machine. Aloha.
