i've had my 34 gallon set up for about 6 months now. i live in a small one bedroom apt and i have been doing 10% water changes each week. i set up my corallife 24gpd RO unit about once a month then take it down and put it away. then i store the water in jugs for topping off and water changes. well i just set up my RO unit and it shot off and stripped the threads off the the RO unit and my faucet. so is there any other possible ideas that i could do. i have limited space and really don't know what to do at this point.

is there a better RO unit for what i'm doing. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks

if your talking about the piece that connects to your faucet you should be able to find one at your lfs. I also use a corallife ro unit and have to replace that part every so often.

I just installed this on my bathroom cold water line, took about 10 minutes. As long as you have the shutoff valve under your sink so you can connect this to that. I actually just leave the whole RODI unit under the sink hooked up and pull out the waste line and run it to the shower drain and run the pure water to my container then just turn the ball valve and it feeds the RO unit as opposed to sending the water up to the faucet.

Before I hooked that up I was using this and could just throw the RO unit's supply line on the prong when I wanted to make water so I didn't have to screw/unscrew the faucet all the time.
