It's actually super easy. Bought everything off amazon.
I'll make a full guide later
What do you want to know?
I will give you 3 pointers if you buy this particular unit, though. I only bought this because it's the cheapest 4 stage you can get, and I know I don't need all the bells and whistles (in-line TDS, etc -except one that I will mention in part 2 below) that come with the ones that cost way more.
A dishwasher supply line is 3/4" hose bibb to 3/8" compression. They are usually a few feet long. Make sure the Y splitter has deep enough threads to compress the neck of the hose bibb into the collar.
Reduce 3/8" comp to 1/4" comp, then run 1/4" flexible tubing to your fridge. A kit at the big box near me is about $15 for the 25' poly tubing kit with 1/4 and 3/8 adapters. A 1/4 coupling can be used to connect two lengths of tubing if you are forced to do so.
HB to comp
3/8 to 1/4

The kit comes with a saddle valve, but you don't need it.
