Where do I tap my RO/DI filter for RO drinking water?

I have a standard 4 stage RO/DI system from Abundant Flow and want to add a switching valve to allow a line for RO drinking water. I'm pouring at least a gallon of Ozarka down my throat each shift...not counting what I drink at home. Lifeguarding has really increased my liquid intake and I'd prefer to have good stuff to drink at home and at work.

I've never worked with the small tubing that is used on these systems, but I'm guessing it's probably pretty easy, right? Can the parts be found at Home Depot or Lowes?

The tubing is easy to work with - standard 1/4" plastic compression fittings work on my RO/DI. You could just install a "T'" feeding a small spigot at some point in the line before it goes into your DI canister.

See you Saturday morning...
