RO water system

[TPW]

I’m looking for a way to hook up an RO filter to a water hose? I don’t have direct access to water in the space I brew (a detached garage). Our well water has sodium levels that are somewhat high. If I use an RV water hose that’s safe for drinking water, will hooking up a RO filter to this hose be effective and safe to use for brewing?

Yes, an rv water hose is fine. I've been using one for a while to just fill up my keggles, they are safe to drink out of. Depends on your system tubing but if the output is 1/4" tubing you could use either of these two items.
U0421406 Garden Hose Connector GHT - 1/4 Tube x 3/4 Female
John Guest Brass Female Connector (Garden Hose) - 1/4 x 3/4 - 11.5 NH

I just ordered the second one but from a different vendor. I'm just starting to use my RO system and unfortunately I didn't see these options and bought some intermediate tubing to connect to a spigot inside my garage. I could have skipped the 3/8" line I used there.

Yeah, I use a brass hose to 1/4" adapter to connect my system to a garden hose fitting. Got it from here: Feedwater Fittings - Buckeye Hydro
Works great.

Brass and poly fittings (called hose bib adapters) to do just that can be found here: Feedwater Fittings - Buckeye Hydro

I use the hose bib from the system we got from @Buckeye_Hydro . Works great and happy with it .

I use Camlock Quick Disconnects from Brew Hardware on a reinforced hose from Lowe’s to connect to my sink spigot.
