    I'm getting ready to order an RO/DI unit (link below) and I have a few questions.

    Aquarium Water | Reverse Osmosis | RODI Water | ReefKeeper Water | Typhoon 5 stage RODI Reefkeeper 75 GPD

    First of all is this a good unit? I will only be using it for 10 gallon weekly water changes and top off. Also I'm not very handy and I'm not too good at setting things up so I prefer not to have to drill anything. Is there a way to just connect the unit straight to the sink? Faucet adapter I think? How hard are these to set up?

    Super product and rediculously easy to set up. A T adapter will work great. Your local hardware store should be able to hook you up.

    Cool thanks. It has the option to come with a faucet adapter, is that the same thing as a t adapter?

    You will have 1 input/supply line and 2 output lines. The input will be T'd off of your cold water line. Output will go to your faucet drain for your waste water, and the other to your RO/DI storage or ATO.
