They will have them but you may have to screw two parts together. You need a hose thread to 1/4" adapter like used to screw a pressure gauge on to a hose bib or garden hose, probably brass which is OK, and a 1/4" MIP x John Guest Speed Fit adapter which will be plastic. Maybe $5 total?

They sell an all plastic one with the Guest adapter which is a fine thread that fits your faucet.You will have to remove the screen and then screw it on by hand.Should be able to find it in the plumbing dept or go to the household ro systems and ask the helpfull Lowe's emplyoee.Brass is bad in my book ha ha ha

I'm sorry guys but I've no idea what ya'll are talking about :( wouldn't something like this work? What else do I need?

Yes that will work if its a faucet adapter you are looking for.
Brass is perfectly fine as long as it is on the tap water side, its DI water that is agressive so no metals on the treated side.

The hose thread adapter I am referring to is at the bottom of the page here on the left:

PLUMBING ACCESSORIES FOR RO

coo; web page AZ,that's exactly what I was trying explain

Finally the adapter arrived (after almost 3 weeks) I've got it hooked up (correctly I hope) now as for the *blue* valve in what position should it be in? Do I run it wide open? The di house doesn't appear to be completely full of water. Hopefully someone answers soon before I mess the unit up lol

By open all the way should it be positioned as it is in the picture? Is it supposed to be just a light trickle? The water out of the waste runs fast?

you got it,amazing how little water you actually get for your tank.Hows the TDS

You need to measure the treated and waste flows with a measuring cup and watch or clock. Time each for one minute. The waste should be almost exactly 4 times the treated flow or 4:1 waste ratio. If not you may need a different flow restrictor.
The DI canister will never be full, its a gravity system on that side and is dependent on the elevation of the outlet in comparison to the canister. No worries, that normal.
