How do I hook my BRS 5 Stage RO/DI System to my laundry?

Aquaman101 · 12/30/2010, 08:50 PM

I just got my BRS 5 Stage RO/DI unit, but I'm not sure what adapter to use to hook it up to the water line that goes to the washing machine.

It came with a garden hose / laundry sink adaptor, but that doesn't seem like the right connector.

I've got this same unit and that's the right fitting...

So how do I hook it up so that I can get water to both the washing machine and the RO/DI unit?

go to the hardware store and get a Y hose fitting

Head to Lowes or Home Depot and in the garden section you will find Y connectors like pipebash said. Here is a picture for you of mine.

Thanks for the info!

Yep, just go get a Y adapter to split a feed off to the RO/DI.

Exactly how I have mine set up.

WARNING to those of you using the plastic John Guest adapter shown in Quintis's photo.

It will FAIL leaving you with a garden hose running in your home.

Take my advice, go to lowes/HD and get a brass one. All of you. Tomorrow.
