Where to install and RO Unit

[tangman99]

I'm thinking of purchaseing a Maxxima 24 GPD RO unit. My question is where do most people set these things up in their home? I know I will need a place where I can keep a container to catch the water. Also, do most people use a float switch to automatically cut off the unit?
Also, it is really necessary to get the DI chamber or is a 3 stage sufficient. I have city water which is chlorinated and hard.
Thanks,
Tangman

If im right you dont have basements in Flordia do ya?? well mine takes up some space 32 gal trash can to catch the water, and keep in mind you will need to have a place to have the waste water line to the outside wow if I didnt have my basement I dont know where i would put it all good luck

Remember, You have to have a place for the waste water to drain so you are limited..

I have the actual RO in my garage split off my washing machine, with 25' of tubing that leads into in a 44 gallon trash can in my kitchen. (waste water goes in the drain of the washer)Then when I am not using it I roll the tubing up and put the full can of water in one of my spare bedrooms... (I have flooded my kitchen a few times!! I need to get a float switch!)
where in fl are u?

I have mine mounted on the back of my house next to the spicket. I have a garden hose leading off down to the back of my yard for the run off.

mine is in the garage, I have 2 40 gallon containers on a shelf that is 1 1/2 feet off the ground(this aids in siphoning).. one salt and one fresh, they are sitting in a shallow tub that has a drain that goes to the outside(this is to prevent in overflow spills inside, and for the waste water). then i run a garden house from the outside to the RODI unit which is mounted on the wall by the 40 gallon buckets.
