Need a plumber for a utility sink

[Nmertz1]

Looking for someone to set up a utility sink in my unfinished basement to set up rodi (don't even need sink if you know how to instal rodi into my house)

Will pay $200

Post what area of town you are it. You don't "need" a utility sink for an rodi setup, but they sure are handy. All you really need is a cold water supply, and a drain. Both can be as simple, or sophisticated as you want.

Depending on where , I can help

I'm in Arvada close. I can help as long as the copper is exposed. I installed my own RODI in my basement and ran the waste to the floor drain. Not a plumber, but I can get you set up.

This is what I did...

Nice. My house is a new construction build so they didn't use a lot of copper. They use these plastic red and blue tubes instead of copper now. Here's some pics, think you could rig the RODI to this? View attachment 21681 View attachment 21682

Just as easy...

Run to HD or Lowe's and grab some sharkbite fittings... Cut and slip in.

I don't get how those work. Like I don't want my rodi running 24/7.. The nice thing about the hose hookup is that you can turn off the water. Can you do that if you plump it straight into those pipes?

Yours might look like this if you pull away some of that insulation. If so I have the same exact setup. I was fortunate to have an extra open slot on my cold water side to run my RO. If you dont have any extra slots I would just tee off from another slot and throw a valve on the RO input, that way you can just turn it on/off whenever you need to run the RO.

If it is not then just add a tee with a valve to one of the blue lines.

Just get a 1/4 inch John guest shutoff valve.

Get a auto shutoff for your RODI and it will stop when your container fills up.

Most decent RODI have auto shutoffs. Then you can use a float valve on your container to stop the whole thing.

I'm still lost with all of this. Not sure where to put it. If anyone thinks they can help id gladly pay/frag them. thanks!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this. I found an extra valve that I could simple attach the RODI to. Thank you!
