Easy way to hook it up – Filter guys or lowes sell these two parts

So I finally hooked up my RODI unit just like the way u did but the only thing is my washer doesn't drain the waste water unless its running. Where did you hook your waste line if you have it somewhere else and the other option is to make the line longer and if so what parts do I need thanks.

Just need someone to show me how i can extend the waste line like the adaptor and line. Is i something i can pick up at home depot?

I would pick up enough 1/4" tubing at Lowes to run from your rodi to the drain at your washer. It's like $.09 a foot.. Good luck

Hi Guys, and Gearls,
I have mine just delivered from Purewaterclub.com. 6 Stage RO/Di 150GLD. looks lie all the others, I think there is a standard for the Filters, so wherever ou get the cheapest go for it.
Mine was just $ 112.00 free shipping. With all You need to hook it up, but no Tank.

I modified mine with 5 of these shutt off valves, so I can make it stay under pressure and have it Portable. Two valves went between the lines before and after the RO so I have control of the TDS from there. No I have no Built in TDS Meter.
My extra Purchases was the 5 Valves 2 1/4"T a bundle of 1/4" Tubing, adapter to Hook up on a faucet, TDS Meter, Pressure Gauge, $~50.00.
Mounted it on a Plywood piece and be happy that i have no leeks.

Only one Question, my Tapwater is very clean 48TDS, how Important would it be to have a flush valve for the RO Membrane? and where would it go if I could fit one in.
Is it possible to just run it reverse and open my Test valve "infront" of the RO, so it does not flush it into the Carbon Filter?
Thanks
Helmut

It's not clear that flush valves do anything useful. I'd just leave the system alone.
