Hello all
If anyone would be so gracious as to post a pic of your pureflow connected to a faucet adaptor and how you remove the hose when not in use it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to make sure mine is set up correctly.
Thx, cw

The faucet adaptor we used was attached all the time.  We would pull down on the nozzle when making a batch, which would redirect the water.  Then push it back up when using the sink.  We have hard water, so after a while, we'd have to fight to make it stay up at times.

Since we've moved everything into the bedroom, we now run the lines into the basement.  They are attached into the washer lines and we have constant water.  It's SO much nicer though I can't use the Pureflow as an excuse not to wash dishes!

I saw the adaptor recently.  I'll try to find it tonight and take a picture.
