Yes, but this is not an ideal kit for that. This is a portable unit with no storage tank, faucet, drain hose hookup, etc..A complete kit that i have installed a few of is: iSpring RCC7 - Built in USA, WQA Certified Reverse Osmosis 5-Stage 75GPD Under-Sink Water Filter with Brushed Nickel EU Faucet & See-through HousingIt is obviously more expensive, but has everything you need for a more permanent under sink installation.Even in a rental home, you could pack this up and take it with you. You will need a hole at your sink next to your normal faucet that isn't being used, maybe has a plug in it now Yes, but this is not an ideal kit for that.

Depends on the route u take for the many different ways. But it's really easy. Just a trip to the local hardware store to buy a few items and you should be good to go

It takes a little figuring out, but if you get the right pieces it shouldn't be too hard. Are you wanting it installed beneath the sink running continuously or attached to the faucet running when you require it to? Faucet attachment is easiest.

Yes no tools required to install. But you do need a drain line for the waste water. You may have to have installed a dishwasher trap

Id suggest a different route. The sink idea works fine and if you let it take over your sink faucet you can do that with no extra add ons it comes with the adapter. Id purchase the hose adapter though and use it else where in the house!

I attached mine to the laundry room sink because the adapter wouldn't work with my kitchen faucet. The RO adapter required threads to screw onto.

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.

I didn't look at it closely enough during installation but my guess would be that you might be better off buying the individual parts and making a system on your own. The unit is packed in there fairly tight and if you wanted to dismantle it and spread it out you may end up breaking numerous parts. Plus the sprayers may be sealed to the panel. Someone else may be able to confirm that.

I do not think it would be safe for one person to do this installation. It is not all that heavy but long and awkward for one person to do it alone. My wife and I had no trouble with it. Actually I only needed her help for about 10 minutes. After that I soloed.

this a rack item, you need a Rack Server or Similar Rack to install this unit and 4 screws, that's all

It's easy to install. I installed mines myself. I know if I can do it you can

The most practical thing would be to simply order another unit. Otherwise, you may want to try the company's website.

Surely. System can be uninstalled and reinstalled (Special procedures needed and must be done professionally to avoid refrigerant loss). Outside unit must remain UP.

This is a plug-in unit that I use as a spare stand alone unit. You'll need two outlets below the counter for this to work as well as a large counter space. If you're handy with electrical & carpentry work, installing two units may be possible. Good Luck!

John, I believe it can be installed under the counter but you may have to provide some ventilation at the rear of the unit.Graham

Yes, the unit can be installed after counter tops are on. Just a tighter space to work in.

It is easily installed under the sink and doesn't take too much room, you should be able to unplug it and take it with you.

Yes, you can and may I add...the piece is beautiful. I put it together all by myself. It serves as a server in my kitchen and goes well with my stainless steel appliances. I recommend this product because it is very solid, functional and most of all...looks good!

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

Yes, you can totally do it yourself. There are Youtube video guiding you how to install it.

I had a professional do my installation, however, I did watch him do the install. All parts specific to the device were with it in the box. Very good unit.

I can tell you that my husband installed ours on his own in about 30 mins. The only thing he found difficult was being under the sink in a cramped space. Remember to shut of the water under the sink while doing the job! Good Luck!
