I have a Reverse Osmosis Kit that I’m trying to plumb into the house. The main objective is to use the R/O water as a supply to my salt water aquarium. The secondary objective would be to pipe a secondary line to the kitchen sink. I already have a water filter on my refrigerator so the kitchen sink is not important. Considerations: 1.)Whether or not to use a saddle valve on a cold water supply line or to use another method based off of the latest building codes. 2.)Providing sufficient thermal coating or pipe sleeves to protect R/O plastic water source hoses from freezing in the crawl space under the house. 3.)Installing a stop valve above deck in the living room close to the R/O unit for maintenance periods.

Plumbing Pipe Leak
Plumbing leaks in your household can range from simple leaks that are a mere nuisance, to large leaks that can flood your home. To fix a leak, you first have to determine what kind of a leak it is. The leak can be located either on the pipe or at a joint. If you have a leak in the pipe, it's better to replace the entire section of the pipe, instead of merely patching the leak. Pipe leaks often occur when the pipe is corroded, and a corroded pipe can quickly begin to leak in more than one place. If the leak is at a joint, you can stop the leak by merely tightening the joint.
Other quick ways to fix a leaky pipe include using a readymade pipe patch that's available in your neighborhood hardware store. You can also use water proof tape to wrap around the leaky spot, or apply epoxy paste on the hole. These however, are all stop gap solutions that offer only temporary measures to fix a pipe leak. To stop a leak till the plumber arrives, cut about 4" of split rubber hose, and slip around the pipe. Use a wrench to tighten until you can stop the leak.
To fix leaky pipes, when you don't know the source of the leak, call a professional plumbing leak detection and repair service. These plumbers use special tools to detect the source of a leak.
