OT: Reverse Osmosis

Replacing R/O unit under kitchen sink...

Double sink, disposer, dishwasher drain, R/O filter, it's a nightmare of pipes and hoses.

So my question is: Anyone remote-located the pressure tank portion? I see some wasted cabinet space about 6' away where the cabinets do a

45° turn.

Doing that would clear up some space for soaps, brushes, etc. ...Jim Thompson

My neighbor and I put his RO unit, all of it, in his laundry room. Ran

3/8 dia tubing to the kitchen which is about 25' away. We opted for the bigger dia in case the skinny stuff slowed the flow too much. It works just peachy. Art

The system should be under-pressure (around 50 PSI). So, even 1/4" should be fine.

PS: I reversed back to old Google group.

Our RO system is entirely in the basement, with a booster pump. Works fine that way.

The only reason we needed the booster is because the system is well

*below* the use point. If you're only moving it horizontally, you shouldn't need a pump, although larger tubing to the pressure tank wouldn't hurt. Given a choice, keep the pressure tank near the tap and move the RO's filter units instead.

(the tank is a bypass capacitor, the tubing is your copper wiring. The rest should be obvious ;)

Jim Thompson submitted this idea :

No problem even with 1/4" tubing. Done that several times before.

That's probably because of all the reverse osmosis of his brain cells. What a drag.
