Hose to RO/DI
I need to move my RO/DI & I have an usused washing machine hookup that I wanted to run a length of hose from, & hook it to my RO/DI. Is there a brand I should use that I can get pretty much anywhere (walmart lowes, etc) that will be ok under constant pressure, & considered safe for he aquarium? I know it probably doenst matter, since its BEFORE the RO/DI, but I figured it would be better not to add impurities to the water before filtering.

Hmmm, I don't know about garden hoses under constant pressure, but if they're new they should be ok. I've seen older ones where they are bulging at the connection points. Another way may be to use washing machine hoses?

Use a washing machine hose (stainless lasts longer)--- and you will likely need a double male hose connector to supply a garden hose adapter... (washing machine hoses have female fittins on each end)
