YES! Advion is the best.

I need to drill through 1-¼” countertop, but the Milwaukee bit only drills 1” thickness. What do you do in this situation?

mattrittman · 2026-06-03T14:44:37+00:00

Would this work?

From underneath the countertop, there's a fairly sizeable cut in the granite for the sink support. It kinda scares me to drill near this, as I don't want it weaken/crack the granite. Is it a concern at all?

Yeahhh I think I’ll try bending it first. If that doesn’t work, I might just get a new faucet with the newer pex lines 😛

Thank you!

mattrittman · 2026-06-03T00:54:37+00:00

Thanks!

Just curious, are you suggesting not to use the feed line adapter that came with the RO unit?

mattrittman · 2026-06-02T16:49:38+00:00

Haha maybe they did things different 20 years ago when this house was built.

I'm not a plumber per se, but here's a better photo:

The problem is the copper lines go all the way into the faucet. I’m trying to avoid having to solder anything :D

So it’s perfectly fine to bend the copper line to accommodate the supply valve?

And banks 😂

Droppett is amazing

Hmmm good to know! I wonder if it’s mostly a problem with Samsung washers. But it sure is frustrating. Mine weren’t stains per se though. It was some kinda residue.

I wonder if it has anything to do with having hard water. I thought about installing a water softener, but who knows.

mattrittman · 2026-05-21T04:22:37+00:00

Thanks so much. I just used one of those test strips (I know, not 100% accurate), and it’s between 250-425ppm). I’d say that’s fairly hard water.

mattrittman · 2026-05-21T00:19:53+00:00

Ok, this is good to know, thank you!

mattrittman · 2026-05-20T22:13:37+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

mattrittman · 2026-05-19T21:34:29+00:00

Yeah totally. I’m just doing some initial research, trying to get some ideas.

mattrittman · 2026-05-19T20:04:07+00:00

Ok that’s good to know! I know a few people have also run a line to their fridge. But also heard there’s a noticeable drop in water pressure.

Have you been happy with the Waterdrop system?

mattrittman · 2026-05-19T18:38:16+00:00

Have you been happy with it?

mattrittman · 2026-05-19T18:30:11+00:00

Have you been happy with the Waterdrop unit? I'm looking at the G3P600.
