For hook up, I bouth a $4.00 garden hose 'Y' splitter at Home Depot. Hooked to my cold water line for my washer and ordered teh garden hose adapter along with my ro/di unit. Works great and keeps the unit in the laundry room.

ok, getting ready to hook this contraption up but i'm noticing that i have to drill into the discharge tube under the sink for the waste water drain line...didn't really want to drill since i'm a renter. any other suggestions?

ive got my setup with the drain hose leading into the sink drain, thus when i'm finished roll up the hose and way you go

thanks all for your input here...i've just finished installing and should have ro/di in no less than a few hours (soon as the tanks filled!) it went together super easy, just a matter of following instuctions and i got super-fast delivery from aqua-safe. next day delivery.

all in all i have nothing but good fortune so far...hope my tank loves the effort :mrgreen:

Make sure to get rid of the first gallon or two of water Darryl. It could have a little bit of the fungicide that use use on the RO membrane after testing in it. After that you should be good to go. :smile:

I thought I read somewhere to run 5g thru it first, just to clean out the fungicide..might depend on th ebrand.

good remider, thanks! i just drained the first tank...will do another just in case, then i top off the soon to be reef!

That could well be right Brad.

But quite a bit of it is washed out if you just flush the membrane when doing the set up.

But the couple of gallons number was just something that I grabbed out of the air. :redface:

The sticker on the membrane actually says 'run for 2 hours'. That's probably a very conservative warning. I ran 6-7 tanks worth over a day just to be on the safe side. I didn't want a stomache ache (as the label warns...) lol.

i haven't seen anything regarding this except ed mentions that after the first tank is full to dump it to flush the membrane, then you should be good to go. anyhow, i did 3 tanks full, hope it's enough.
