However, if a licensed plumber or contractor were to do something against the code, then they are in violation and may lose their license.

Unfortunately I waited several months to install it and so assumed Costco won't take it back. It still sitting in my garage.
The rationale for airgap is to reduce or eliminate the risk of backflow contamination of the filtered water with the system wastewater or with the sinks waste water.
If it is important, an additional "not recognized by code" item is the saddle clamp for the drain tube. Which could be replaced by a tail piece with a drain line adapter or a dishwasher adapter with a drain line adapter. (a lot of adapters). Search for "drain line adapter".
But then do you remove the fridge filter? Ours won't work without a filter.

I agree a high drain loop works as effectively as an air gap. It's more about local building codes and what they allow or not, as opposed to what works.

I mounted the entire RO system to a backing board and hung it in the laundry room, so when it needs to come down for cleaning or parts replacement I can just pull the whole system down and take it to the workbench.
For those worrying about drilling through granite, its not a big deal. I was a bit nervous but I made a wood template/guide. Just drill a hole thorough the wood using the bit you intend to use, then hot glue it to the counter where you want it. Drill, remove the guide, and done. Takes about 20 minutes with a regular cordless drill.
