my R/O needs to be install tomorrow or should i wait to get a designated water lines directly to the tank?
calcium reactor to restart soon
i needs a 2 hp chiller!!! despite of the fan and designated gap on the cabinetry .my lonely 1/3 hp is not enough to cool it down fast enough, it takes 2 hours to drop 2.2 degrees

You should be able to run a line like you run to your ice maker, just find a cold water pipe close to the tank, and run the flex line. They make a valve that pokes a hole into your existing water line, and there you have it, you shouldn't need a plummer, and should be able to find all of those parts at lowes.

That is what i was trying to do but the closes water line is 35 feet away, i was wondering if the pressure would be sufficient.

i made some stupid mistake and put the drain output from the R/O directly in the tank and waste the filtered R/O water. at least on 10 gallons of drain was added in the tank

damn the drain output to r/o ratio was almost 10 to 1
modified the drain output to maybe 3 to 1.i think my pressure is to high
