Thanks for showing the type of dual faucet that can be used to serve both RO and regular water. I asked several plumbing experts at different hardware stores and they all recommended drilling an additional hole into the countertop! Which is more complicated, expensive and risky.
@@michaelvieira5659 you can buy in line air gap adapters/valves that mount under the sink in between the filter system and the faucet. This way you can still have an air gap without a dedicated air gap faucet.
Plumber here. Don't use Teflon tape for that type connection- the connection seals through a rubber gasket so teflon tape can either get in the way of fully tightening it or if it sits across the rubber gasket ive seen that cause a leak as well. Otherwise great video.
YOUR AWESOME!!! Love this video helped me sooo much! Bought mine second hand from someone who didn’t want to bother with install. Missing a few connections and manual but now I know exactly how to do it. And I didn’t even have to listen to any unnecessary talking about random stuff it was straight to the point! Girl power!!!!

Does it filter microplastics? And if so, does the plastic tubing introduce new microplastics? And if so, does anyone sell a plasticless reverse osmosis filter system??
These are special plastic that doesn't dissolve in water. It removes all the plastic inside the water. Besides that water only passes thru the plastic for a short time and than stored in the stainless steel tank so there is no worries about the plastic dissolving.
You don’t even need Teflon tape. It’s counterproductive. The hose has a rubber gasket. It’s similar to your garden hose. Pipes that screw in be it metal or plastic that don’t come with a rubber gasket is when you apply Teflon tape. And yes it goes on clockwise.
This isn't a good video to follow. I think she just destroyed her membrane by forgetting to flush her filters BEFORE attaching the membrane. The black carbon coming out of the faucet is a sign she either broker her membrane or installed the drain water to the faucet. Either way, you should install everything EXCEPT the membrane and flush the carbon filter until it comes out clear. THEN install the membrane. Sorry to disappoint everyone.

Are you on a septic system? Wondering about your garburator as they can cause problems to tile fields, sandy mound systems, or any system that relies on perforated pipes or filters.
Hello there, I wanted to know, if i don't connect the drain inlet and outlet under the air gap faucet and have the RO drain connected directly to the PVC drain , will water come out of the inlet and outlet port once the system is active, thanks!
I'm so confused, why does the sediment filter wire, go on the drainage pipe? How does that make the filter effective? Isn't it supposed to go on the wire that releases water and leads to the filtered water? Unless it gets the water that drains and then cleanses it. That's disguisting, can someone clarify if i'm wrong
Thanks.. But I have question.. So.. blue tube goes in to the water tank. How filtered water goes in and out from the tank? It should have two lines in order to in and out?

Glad you replied. I noticed all the other RO installation videos include flushing the carbon out of the system BEFORE installing the membrane. It keeps the larger carbon from forcing its way past the membrane. Do you advise skipping that step?
it looks like the system you were installing is 3/8' tubing system...its ratio must be 1.5:1 (much better than other system every 3 wasted gallons of water to get 1 cleaned gallon of water)..
Our replacement filter packs are $44.95 and should last you a year. The membrane needs to be changed every 3 to 5 years and those cost between $40 and $50.
You'd have to wait 5 mins for a glass of drinking water. The system fills the tank to full, which your faucet draws from. The tank is filled slowly but because you have a lot in there, you'll have more before you get to the bottom (unless you leave the faucet on for an absurd amount of time) It fills even when you aren't running the faucet.
what about water pressure? we have ridiculously high pressure. will that blow those lines out that you just push in? what kind of connectors are those anyway? aren't you afraid they will blowout? I'm a total novice! lolol

What’s the difference of installing this? Surely None! Replacements are about $50 x 3 a year right, and One spend only $10 a month for a couple tanks using vending machine and the vending includes also fluoride filtered water plus carbon filter.
A replacement filter pack is $50, once a year. We aren't saying it's for everyone. If you find more value getting it from a vending machine rather than your own home than more power to you.
hi, when I leave my apartment is there someway to plug the hole that is drilled for the drill saddle or can I use the garbage disposal dishwasher drain port for the drain? also I plan on just leaving my cub boards open and just lay the air gap faucet flat on the counter. will that work? ghetto I know but I'm leaving here soon and want to just buy a GOOD water filter that's GARRUANTEED TO FILTER MICROPLASTICS
You could just replace the plumbing where you drilled the hole for the drain saddle when you leave. It's a pretty easy fix. Or like you mentioned place the drain line in any existing drain port. Just make sure the line is secure or you could end up with a mess. Yes, you could do that with the faucet. If you are just renting then I don't blame you.

You have a double p-trap under your sink thay can pull the water out of the p-trap and allow sewer gases to come through your drain

Teflon tape should be threaded on clockwise - you are threading it on clockwise in this video, but saying to thread it counterclockwise.
Yes, when the threads are facing towards you, it must be clockwise
You don’t even need Teflon tape. It’s counterproductive. The hose has a rubber gasket. It’s similar to your garden hose. Pipes that screw in be it metal or plastic that don’t come with a rubber gasket is when you apply Teflon tape. And yes it goes on clockwise.
Clockwise is the correct way to wrap tape on threads. I Wrap the same direction the threads go.
She did wrap it the right way tho
i agree with you, she keeps saying counter clock wise but people are going to lift the teflon tape that way.

Sometimes my sink get clogged from under the sink. Is it possible a dirty water can backflow into the reverse osmosis through the drain tube?

Such an easy video to follow thanks for the time taken to do this for all of us. Quick question how ofter do you need to replace the filters or tank?
It takes up a lot of space.
Teflon tape should be put on in clockwise direction, not counter-clockwise (just as you did, but contrary to what you said).

Likely to make opening them up to replace filters easier.

Do you always need the reducer elbow?
Are you on a septic system? Wondering about your garburator as they can cause problems to tile fields, sandy mound systems, or any system that relies on perforated pipes or filters.

Be discreet lol
At your own risk of course.
Round up your Pennie’s head to hardware store and get another trap arm lol.. 🤯
Ok so it's been so e time that you have had it how it's going any leaks or other problems ??
How often should these filters be changed?
Usually yearly, check the specific instructions of your RO system or contact the manufacturer if you still aren't sure.

the tank works off a ball valve that opens and closes to let filtered water go in to store and out to drink.
You don't need Teflon tape on the angle stop.

Where did you get that faucet? I love that it has the built-in ro faucet.
it looks like the system you were installing is 3/8' tubing system...its ratio must be 1.5:1 (much better than other system every 3 wasted gallons of water to get 1 cleaned gallon of water)..
How do you switch the filter off so you dont waste it washing dishes
This system isn't connected to the dishwasher. It's one water line going to a drinking water faucet.
Typically this is why there is a separate faucet for the RO water.
That one it comes with is typical of these kind of systems.
Installation made easy. Thanks
Please let me know model number your kitchen faucet and where you bought it. Thanks!
I gotta get one, she makes it look easy, and early in her second trimester as well, bravo!
Any idea why my main regular cold water isnt coming out of the main faucet after installing the system?
@0:20 why do you need the cantaloupe for install?
with the thread tape you are saying counter clockwise but going clockwise. Clockwise is the right way
Yes. Clockwise is right. She just misspoke.
what if you have two inlets into the tank what then
quick question... the drainage is over the top of the tank.. will there be a back flush of waste water to come back to the tank?
No.
What part is that at 1:52. The john Guest part?
how long time does it take to fill the watertank?
Depending on the size of the system and the tank, usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
Good explanation
What is the replacement costs on all those filters?
Our replacement filter packs are $44.95 and should last you a year. The membrane needs to be changed every 3 to 5 years and those cost between $40 and $50.
Where can I find those faucets with ro built in?
do you have to install the tank, can i use this system without tank? what will happen if i dont use the tank?
You'll have no reserve and get a trickle I'd assume. If you want any kind of water flow you gotta have a tank
Depends on amount of your usage and size of your RO. Most home system are very slow. Some people even get a larger reserve tank.
You'd have to wait 5 mins for a glass of drinking water.
The system fills the tank to full, which your faucet draws from.
The tank is filled slowly but because you have a lot in there, you'll have more before you get to the bottom (unless you leave the faucet on for an absurd amount of time)
It fills even when you aren't running the faucet.
At the 4 minute mark, did she install the filter with the wrapper on it?
No
As a Waterproofers/contractor let me advise you to pay the plumber to do this if you live in a rural area.
Why’s that?
what about water pressure? we have ridiculously high pressure. will that blow those lines out that you just push in? what kind of connectors are those anyway? aren't you afraid they will blowout? I'm a total novice! lolol
We use John Guest fittings. I have never seen water pressure strong enough to blow those out. This shouldn't be a concern.
@uswatersystems Man! That is really great to know! Thank you!!
Do you have to use a faucet, or can you send this to a refrigerator line?
Yes, you can use it exclusively for your fridge/ice maker if you want.
You rock! That was a great video.
The first grader running the camera has to go.
Oh, and Teflon tape always goes on CLOCKWISE, never counter clockwise.
