I was annoyed by the tangle of RO/DI lines I had running from under the sink, to the RO/DI, to the holding tanks, to the sump. Looking around the garage, I found some leftover drywall anchors for ClosetMaid wire shelves I had mounted in the laundry room. Here's a picture I pulled off their website.

The 1/4" RO/DI lines snap right in like they were made for each other, and now everything looks like it was professionally installed.

I know it's not revolutionary, but I thought someone else might appreciate the tip.

Great tip. These are what I use. I buy them from Lowe's and they come in different colors....

I thought about using those, or the zip ties with the holes for mounting them to the wall. The thing I like about the ClosetMaid mounts is that you can snap the lines in and out without removing the mounts from the wall. Here is a picture of my setup. Maybe when I described it as professional looking, I was exaggerating, but I promise, it looks way better than before.

I was just at home depot. The ones i posted a pic of are in the electrical aisle near the zip ties and they are called coax clips, or something of that nature.
The ones mark posted are probably in the same area.
