Tee

[reeferkeeper420]

Just wondering if metal 1/4" tees are ok to use on my RO unit for my inline tds meter? Its had a slow leak ever since i first removed the line to change something. Ive tried cutting new ends and all that. And i cant seem to find any of the pvc or plastic tees that it originally was, locally.

Thanks ill try him.
Yeah lowes is a little outta my way unless im in the area.
But will the metal tees not be good to use?

Lowes has the plastic ones metal shouldn't be a prob but I would stick to plastic

No metal. Especially as water will be sitting idle at the fittings when not in use. Or at least I wouldn't.

As for the old fitting, there is an o ring that might be cracked or need to be re seated. If you gently pull the collar out, you will see the o ring. Need some tiny tools to get at it though

if its the o ring i have an entire set with every size imaginable and they are industrial strength o rings not the cheap crappy tire or home depot brand. if they hold up in my high pressure airless sprayer they will more than do for ro lol.... tweezers and a bobby pin or needle work well to get them out.

be careful with the metal, you are never sure what the composition is and if its brass you will/could be dosing your tank with copper...

I would not use any metal if i don't have to.
However if i did not have a choice, i would use nothing but Stainless steel.

do you have a water depot store in Ingersoll or a place that sells water purification, they will test usually for free...I would take samples of all the water that you use, before, after and in between...
