    What did you screw it onto? My laundry machine has a hot and cold hook up, and both are in use...I don't see any other water line!

    For the easiest get up and going do the faucet adapter then you just have to take off the cap on your faucet, should be threaded and screw on the faucet end of the ro/di, turn on the water, till you get about 30-40lbs psi and your off and running

    Oh, that sounds easy. I like that! Then the unit will be hidden in the cabinet under the sink and it will be easy for me to access.

    For under the sink, i would get use the line tap also, home depot or lowes can help you out with that, its pretty easy to do, just make sure you shut off the water to your house and back drain the lines before you tap ;)

    Hahaha yeah. I installed a new sink and plumbing in my powder room and I forgot about the back draining...haha it was funny though, actually.
