Okay, so after careful consideration I have decided to get an RO/DI system. I would like to also drink the RO. I've seen the systems that "tee-off" before the DI portion. I have an understanding of what that means, but I don't know what that means in terms of doing it. From what I've seen, I'd be better off getting a good RO/DI system and then do the changes myself. So first question:
1) How do you "tee-off" before DI? Is it complicated? Is it something my handy dad could figure out?
The majority of my information was gathered from The Reef Tank, where they have an apparent resident RO/DI guru. He mentioned "drinking water kits" frequently.
2) Is this essentially the plumbing for separate RO? Is this simple as well?
We're going to be in an apartment and don't want to mess with the plumbing under the sink. I've read a couple of time about using a faucet adapter; Same a before: I understand what it does, but I want a deeper understanding of how it's physically done.
3) What type of adapter is it?
4) How is it attached?
And finally: this said guru recommended some obnoxiously expensive unit, yet said you could get one for ~$200 and be fine. Any personal suggestions?
I'm sorry if this is really obnoxious and seems simple but:
A) I have no knowledge of any of this, and searching hasn't really helped in these areas. This is over my barely-adult-head.
B) I'm one of those people who wants everything 100% figured out. I don't like "learning on the fly." I want to understand completely before I buy anything.
Again: sorry! Thanks so much.
