    Everything that you need is available from your local Lowes or Home Depot pretty cheap. Easy DYI Project.

    Good Luck

    What kind of pump do you use to get the water in and does it just sit in the sump or out side the sump? Do you connect the out source to a tube dripping back to the sump?

    Some ppl use gravity, other use a small pump. I never actually installed the one that I built, but I was going to feed it with a T off of the return line with a fitting to allow a R/O tube and a small ball valve. Luna

    Thanks Luna I am thinking of getting one. I don't think it would hurt to have one going on the new system.
