Title: Ruddy wind just knacked me R.O.... Help!
Post by: Tom White on November 22, 2012, 02:11:35 pm
Anyone know where I can get these fittings?  The pic probably isn't great; it's where the RO pipes go into the filter chambers.

Or at least tell me what size they are?

Hey, thanks Pride Clean; I looked at the site and think I've found 'em.

Are they these housing connectors?

It blew the ruddy thing over; Wor Lass just had it stood up; her fault obviously, not the wind's fault; sorry.

Thanks, RZ, that's good of you, but no, it's sorted.  For a short term solution I just reconfigured the RO pipes so the mains tap water goes directly into the RO filters (no pre-filtering) and then out via the DI chamber.

Obviously this'll lessen the life span of my RO filters, but it'll do till the order arrives.

Hi Tosh you can get a part from B&Q which will screw into the hole it is a male hoselock tap fitting with a female end, you will have to connect an ordinary hoselock connector to it after inserting the male fitting
