Quick question for u lads, I'm setting up this 6" fan and filter and I thot u could connect the rvk directly to the filter but it seems a really tight fit and didn't want to force it too much, can u do this? I know I've seen pics wer it's been done but is it supposed to be really tight. Just want to do away with the ducting between fan and filter if I can

the filter and fan prob have the same outer diameter, you either want a clamp or tape it directly to the top of the filter.

I just set her all up ther now and just ducted between the fan and filter, there's a void in the room with a flu going up thru it so I just cut a hole in the board and vented out there, think it runs to the attic but it'll do the job

yeh im doing the exact same thing,, my filter is just sat on the celing board thru a hole into my room, ive got a rvk and assumed would be a simple fit,, i take it this is not the case? or will it depend on filter bands ect? fuk should be fun then under the filter il just duct to the light hood,

"Household reverse osmosis units use a lot of water because they have low back pressure. As a result, they recover only 5 to 15 percent of the water entering the system. The remainder is discharged as waste water. Because waste water carries with it the rejected contaminants, methods to recover this water are not practical for household systems. Wastewater is typically connected to the house drains and will add to the load on the household septic system. An RO unit delivering 5 gallons of treated water per day may discharge anywhere between 20 and 90 gallons of waste water per day"

Shit Jimmy, I didn't think they were that inefficient. If that's the case I'll be sticking with the Brita (or find a commercial size carbon filter) for a few years yet, I can't afford to be paying for all that wasted water.

Yeah yorkie the amount of water it takes to get pure from ya tap water is a lot no doubt there mate, theres alot of waste. Ofcourse hand watering with the RTW method is not really the best way to use RO because of this, my water bill is on the large side mate. With a reciculating system tho its spot on, far less RO water or tap water for that matter is needed. I still wouldnt be without mine mate im too used to it now and once i swap systems my water bill will fall by half i expect.

if ur in airpots ice just tie a piece of string through one of the top holes and pull your main stem back over and tie it off, or an old metal coat hanger like u said and fashion something up.
