Before everyone craps on this idea, it's how my counterflow chiller is hooked up and it works quite well. Anyway, this is a pic of my brewing sink water source with attached line going to a water filter. Today the filter line just popped out and flooded my room. It's a normal plastic line with a brass ferrule inside it to protect it from being cut by the compression ring. It won't seal up for anything.
So I took 2 silicone o-rings and they fit perfectly in the base of the connector nut, no compression ring, and it didn't drip a bit. Will this hold? I could pull out on the line and it doesn't budge, I know I need to figure out a way to hook a shutoff to the filter, just haven't figured it out yet.
I do plan on shutting the water off every night to be safe. Is this idea crazy?
