Upgrade your kitchen tap with an under-sink reverse osmosis water filtration system
In short: Plumbing expert Richard Trethewey demonstrates how to install an under-sink reverse osmosis water filter. This process involves mounting the filtration unit, installing a dedicated faucet, and connecting the system to your existing cold water supply and drain piping to remove most contaminants.
The installation requires basic tools, including an adjustable open-ended wrench and a 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch by 1/4-inch compression T-fitting. The process begins by shutting off the main water supply and mounting the filter unit inside the kitchen cabinet. To accommodate the new faucet, you may need to remove an existing soap dispenser or side sprayer to create a mounting hole.
The system connects to the cold water line via the compression T-fitting and requires a drain adapter attached to the existing drain piping, which may necessitate minor modifications to your plumbing. Finally, the pressure tank is connected and tucked under the sink before restoring the water supply.
