Yes I have. Why?

if you get one of those fittings mike put a link up to,attatch it to the cold water supply under youe sink(no tools needed)

then run the pipe under the kitchen units toward the back door, the inlet pipe from the ro can have a pipe joiner in the end, put it through the cat flat and plug it in to the other pipe,

when it not being used you can pull it apart and put it back through the flap,

no drilling, no tools.

hope this makes sense

Yeah I think so.
How does it attach under the sink then? Hasn't something got to be taken off or pierced? Otherwise it would be running out now. ???

Alright, cheers Rog. I'll have a look tomorrow.
Got to get that IBC connector tomorrow and continue to try and clean the tank out. Still 60-odd TDS

Actually I'm going to hold on the order for now.
I've got some sort of connection, and there isn't a pipe or tap to connect to under the sink. I recently had a new kitchen and it's all hidden behind the unit, just braided hoses come through two holes.

Main thing is to rinse this tank out.
Thought I might get my brush in there and have a scrub, that'll surely speed up the process...

Woohoo! Water from tank is now 015, and that was taken from the bottom too!

I got my wfp in there and gave it a good scrub before flushing it out again with a half-fill.

That's nearly useable already, so once it's filled that should be well into single figures. :)

Just bash the back panel off, and put the pipe cutting attachment thingy on the cold water pipe, drill a hole through the brick work (I'll do it), feed a hose through, attach a tap and screw it to a wall, and bob's yer uncle.

It's so easy, even I could do it!
