you need a tap to supply the RO, they work on pressure.

An outside tap would be best, but not essential. It takes about 8-10 hours to fill my butt  :o

so i could connect a hose from the house tap to the ro system and then the ro system to the water butt and turn the tap on ? where would i put the waste, in the sink? would i have to have my kitchen tap on for 8 - 10 hours?

waste needs to go down a drain, and yes the kitchen tap would need to be on for 8-10 hours, or until the butt is full.

is there a way for the tap to turn off when full or will it overflow

you need an auto shut off kit, or it will overflow

You also need the hose connected to the kitchen sink to be a completely sealed unit, otherwise it will leak and splurt everywhere under the pressure.

I fitted an outside tap, it came in a kit from good old B&Q for about £15.00
