Plumbing Ideas for S1 Vivaldi II

[Bigtwin]

Hello everyone. I've been away from the forums for several months due to a move. I'm just getting around to plumbing the Vivaldi II. At our last house, I had the water line for the S1 plumbed into the icemaker behind our refrigerator. At our new place, we have a built-in rerigerator and I'm not sure I"ll be able to access the water line for the ice maker.

I do have a reverse osmosis spigot on the sink that I thought it might be used a water source. I was thinking that perhaps there might be some type of rubber/latex slip on fitting that could be placed onto the reverse osmosis spigot and then connected to the S1's water line.

Our counter top is granite and I really do not want to drill a hole to feed a water line through it.

Any creative ideas for those that may have run into difficult plumbing?

No info on the spigot but I believe if you use R/O water you will have to install a filter to add minerals back into the water to avoid boiler damage.

JohnB, your a real buzz killer :)

Geez, I may have to put the S1 on a mobile cart and use it with a Flojet. I wonder if there's anyone here that uses a flojet and can tell me how well they work.

Put Flojet in the Search box and you'll find many past posts from folks using them. Almost, everyone that has gotten one has ended up getting an accumulator tank to use with it.
