Can it be installed directly in the water line without any additional shutoffs or pressure valves? I have a limited amount of space to install this.

I would NOT recommend installing without the shut and bypass valves. It's not a question of IF you need to replace the filter, but when you need to replace, you got to shut the water off near the filter to do it. Or else you'll have water spewing out everywhere. Even if you shut the main line off outside once you remove the filter, all the water left in the line will come gushing out...don't do it. Put the valves in. Pressure gauges are not necessary, but the shut-off valves are.

No. Just plugs into a regular outlet. However, you need someone to install a water line.

I'm sure that you could install this on the house supply but I'd be concerned that it may restrict your water flow to some degree. It has a 3/4 inch inlet and output but the holes get substantially smaller inside the filter. I personally would not use this at my house supply.

No, the tank is not designed for in-line plumbed installation under pressure, per manufacturer's documentation. And I don't think the spigot fittings could handle the additional pressure, as there is already significant pressure from gravity on the large volume column of water. When the tank is full, the spigot pressure from gravity already feels like 60-80 psi or more. Not sure what that would do, hooked up to your household plumbing. Could potentially back-feed the public water supply if the pressure got low enough on the main line?

that's how most are installed. It's no problem. you need to run the water through the unit with the power off to purge any air prior to turning the unit on.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

As long as the line coming from your home water supply has a valve you can shut off and then install the included tubing and water filter, it should work just fine.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

No, you will need to purchase a separate inline filter for the water line that is connected to the back of the unit.

Good question. Two valves may not be needed. However, it is convenient to preset the pressure with the valve closest to the wall. This could possibly avoid splashing out of shallow pots or in areas of high water pressure. I initially thought it was a useless feature but have since changed my mind.

No. It's a very simple installation. Just reattach the water line and bolt it to the floor

This unit is not designed to be connected to a sink water line. You are looking for a bottle-less water dispenser or a point-of-use water dispenser.

No. There's no mounting hardware required. Just screw it directly into your water line's 3/4" female fitting. Unless your water line is improperly secured it hangs just fine. If you feel the need to secure it further, plumbers tape would be more than adequate to do the job.

No I did not and did two and hard plumb them in. Had to place stud under RO for fixture to screw to. They both work fine if you don't have super high water pressure. Other wise water goes over sides of glass. I placed 1/4 turn shut offs in wall to adjust pressure to make them work right. Care full easy to install valve body backwards test make sure lever going left is hot. I install both backwards not knowing. Hope that helps.

Not check valve included, i did not install one. Not need as one side is pressure the other side discharge.

I have purchased 3 over the years and my gym has them installed.....I have average water pressure and love the direct and strong pressure...I would say that it would be your best bet not having had low water pressure myself.

No. Not really. There are three main reasons for this. The first reason is that the water connection lines exit from the back of the unit. Thus, your supply lines would need to be behind the unit to make that connection. With typical 4" stud depth and considering the depth of the unit itself, there wouldn't be enough room to make this connection. Possible solution is if you wanted to drill out holes in the bottom casing of the unit and make the connection from the underside. The second reason is that the connection for the hand held water sprayer exits from the side of the unit. As such, the unit needs to be mounted on the wall for this. Possible solution for this is to box out a niche around the sprayer connection, but that isn't exactly an elegant solution. The third reason is that once the unit is mounted in the wall and sealed you would have no easy access to the back of the unit for maintenance, leak checking or troubleshooting. Access would need to be made available from the back side of the unit and depending on your wall arrangement this may not be possible. It certainly wouldn't be very aesthically pleasing onthe access side.
