RO DI System set up parts in Calgary...Help
 

Hi reefers,


Want to setup my RODI unit om my washing machine room. Connecting to the Cold Water outlet using a y adapter to split the flow and adding a valve which can restrict flow to the unit keeping it running in the 80psi range These parts should be easy to find.But from this point on i need some parts/adapters to downgrade Hose ID's to RODI unit lines which I think are about 1/4" +/- in OD size. My RODI unit did come with a plastic 3/4" female end which downgraded to the units line but heavy useage and being cheap plastic the adapter is stripped now and is useless. My problem is where in Calgary can I get all these parts. I have been to Rona with no luck. Surly there is a place that can help me out that has all the parts ??? Any Ideas?

thx
Sean

I've done this twice before, I got everything I needed from Home Depot.

I used a Y splitter with built in valves on the faucet/valve which I got from the garden hose section. The laundry hose attached to the one side as before.

On the other side I used a 3/4" x 1/2" pvc threaded bushing from the PVC plumbing department.

Then I used a plastic 1/2" thread to 1/4" loc (for RO line) fitting which was in another isle next to the PVC plumbing with all the small brass fittings and such.

Don't forget the Teflon.

Worked great.

Good reply spshelps!

I was just surfing around, and came across Niloc16's TOTM page;
