Custom 5ftx2.5x6ft enclosure

RO systems are inexpensive. You're pretty handy so it would be easy for you to install.
The cold water line tap is just a regular water line tap and screws on the cold water pipe and punctures it and seals it.
The drainage line goes to your drain and may be more of a challenge to those not familiar with plumbing.
The fixture requires a hole in the sink, and the installers used my soap dispenser hole, but told me that they would use the sprayer if there was not an extra hole. They told me that they just leave the sprayer attached, but under the sink.
The filters costs about $10 a year to change, but the RO filter must be changed every 3 years an can be $35 to $60. They are incredibly easy to replace, so I do it myself. Now you know all that I know. It may be less expensive in the long run to get an RO system. There are probably a lot of youtube vids showing installation, explaining better than a medical doctor, lol.

Can you clarify this for me please? Are you saying that they install the RO system under the sink and can just attach some sort of a spigot to it under the sink?

I've been putting off getting a RO system simply because I will need to replace the sink to get another hole. Instead of just the added cost of a RO system, I thought I needed to also replace the sink, the garbage disposal, the faucets.... It seemed a lot cheaper to send my husband out to fill up water jugs at the grocery store. He doesn't share my view point.

You might want a bigger bucket in the future--maybe you want to go away for a few days. I really hate making up a bucket--drilling the hole can be problematic especially if you are as handy-man handicapped as I am. I've wrecked a bucket or two twisting the plastic and distorting the walls while drilling holes. I just fill it up a few inches at a time and keep track of it.

I own a nice armament of tools, and I am very handy...except for plumbing! [During premed and the beginning of med school, I helped out in my brother's autobody shop after work, and was also taught electrical work by my father, who stressed the point of using the right tool for any job, so I buy them as needed]

I you do not have the hole for the spray nozzle, you can just keep the spigot fixture under the sink. Many companies that sell the RO systems can guide you to a basic system and suggest the appropriate spigot needed. It sounds as if a cheaper spigot can be used under the sink, instead of what is included with a complete basic system. I think that it may be less expensive in the long run. You can also get quotes from installers. I know that Home Depot and Lowes even sells RO systems, but I have seen many sellers on line too. Local installers can be a little more expensive.

Finished drainage and tested mist system.

This is 3/4 completed and decided to introduce him into the enclosure today since its completed except the bromidisia which will arrive on Wednesday and will use hot glue for the final touch. Currently using 1 medium exo terra compact with 2x 5.5k light bulbs and UVB light bulb. 1 small exo terra compact using 2x 5.5k light bulb and using 60W household bulb for basking. Only temporary till I'm able get my hands on the 48" quad fixture.
